What type of protection does your credit card offer?

VÍS is Íslandsbanki´s official credit card insurer. VÍS is responsible for assessing any damages and reimbursing them in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of each card.
The insurance cover on our credit card varies. You should check the overview of credit card insurance types on the VÍS website. Card holders should report directly to VÍS in the case of a insurance claim.
You can receive insurance confirmation before and during your trip.
