OVB unveils Markay Debit Card design

On May 19, Ohio Valley Bank unveiled its new Markay Cultural Arts Center debit card design as part of its Community First debit card program. The Markay MasterCard® debit card is now available at all Ohio Valley Bank locations, including the Milton Banking Company Division locations.

The Markay will receive five dollars for every OVB customer that chooses to upgrade to the new card design. This debit card is the twenty-fourth local design released by Ohio Valley Bank in an effort to make a positive impact on its communities.

“We are excited to be partnering with OVB. This partnership will allow us to continue in our mission to be a vehicle for experiencing the arts in our area,” said Jennifer Hughes, Director of Operations, Southern Hills Arts Council.

The card design features a theatre stage with brilliant red curtains and the Markay’s unique, marquee-style logo. A repeating overlay of the Southern Hills Arts Council logo is the finishing touch. Through the Community First debit card program, bank account holders may upgrade the look of their debit card to one designed for their favorite local school or charity. The upgrade is available for a ten dollar fee with half donated back to the school or charity.

Designs are also available for the Jackson County Apple Festival, Jackson High School, Wellston High School, and Jackson County Friends of 4-H. Bank staff are currently working to add more local designs to the mix. Officials from schools or local charities wishing to participate in the program should email communityfirst@ovbc.com. More information on the cards and a look at the currently available designs can be found at www.ovbc.com/communitycards.
