Bank of Valletta, usually shortened to BOV, is a Maltese bank that has served customers since 1974, and the Il-Belt Valletta branch is its listing on Republic Street in the capital. Il-Belt is simply the Maltese name for Valletta, the walled city whose main street is lined with shops, cafes and public buildings.
The branch appears in our directory under banks in Malta. If you are visiting Valletta, our Valletta guide shows what else to see nearby, from St John's Co-Cathedral to the Upper Barrakka Gardens.
Personal banking at BOV
The bank groups its personal offering into accounts and packages, cards, financing, insurance and digital banking. Accounts include everyday banking accounts, children and young people's accounts, and packages for students and graduates. Cards cover debit, credit and supplementary credit cards, pay by mobile and the premium Skypass credit card, which carries a higher limit.
Savers and borrowers can use the bank's online tools, including an IBAN converter and calculators for home loans and personal loans. Lending is subject to the bank's criteria, and joint accounts can only be opened in a branch, which makes a visit to the Valletta office useful if you are setting up an account with a partner.
Advice, loans and protection
People wanting guidance can book an appointment, including at a Financial Well-being Centre, where the bank offers resources and tailored advice. Home Finance Hubs support home loan applications, and the wider network includes investment centres, wealth management centres, business centres and a legal office. The site does not say which of these operate from the Valletta branch, so ask when you get in touch.
The bank also sells life insurance and retirement products and offers business loans and finance. Newcomers from the UK can find background in our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK and our overview of financial services in Malta.
Beyond retail banking, the group includes asset management, fund services and stockbroking businesses, and the bank reports on sustainability and on its work in the community. It positions itself as the bank of choice in Malta, with a leadership team, news section and investor relations pages for anyone wanting to understand the institution before becoming a customer.
Digital banking and everyday support
Much routine banking can be done without queuing. The BOV mobile app and internet banking handle payments and transfers, and ATMs in Malta and Gozo let you withdraw cash, deposit money and check balances. There is a customer support service, a help centre, a form for reporting a lost or stolen card and a form for querying a transaction. A Learning Hub also offers practical guidance, including how to spot scams.
One point for UK readers: the bank's web content is intended for residents of Malta, and the bank is licensed in Malta with authority to serve customers across the EU and EEA. A UK resident should therefore ask about eligibility and documents before travelling to open an account.
The bank publishes its current interest rates and foreign exchange rates online, which is handy for visitors who want to compare before changing money, and it keeps a Customer Charter setting out the service standards customers can expect.
