Users of the Oxfam Canada Visa* card, offered through Citizens Bank, helped raise over $18,000 for Oxfam’s programs last year. In September the card was relaunched with a new look that we hope will attract new customers and help support even more work in 2009.

The Citizens Bank/ Oxfam Visa* program helps women, men, and children in over 20 developing countries around the world become more self-sufficient and helps them secure their fundamental human rights.

As soon as your application is approved, Citizens Bank will donate $20 to Oxfam and every time you use your Oxfam Visa* card, Citizens Bank of Canada will donate another $0.10. It’s that easy. Plus, there’s no annual fee.

Every time you use your Oxfam Visa*, you’re helping to ensure that more women and men are earning a decent living, enjoying education and health care, getting help in life threatening disasters and emergency situations, and speaking out for fundamental human rights. For example, in Mozambique, Oxfam supports women’s organizations in training police to handle domestic violence cases and in working with sex workers to raise awareness and reduce the risk of HIV and AIDS.
