MBNA Europe credit card holders donated £827,126 via the MBNA website to the Disasters
Emergency Committee Haiti appeal between January and March this year.

MBNA Europe, a subsidiary of Bank of America, itself donated 3% of the total to 
cover any processing costs of the credit card transactions that may have been charged
by the payment networks.

John Greaves, Communications executive for Bank of America Europe Card Services,
which operates the MBNA brand, said: “We wanted to make sure that every penny of
the credit card donations made by our customers went directly to helping those people
in Haiti in most need”.
