  2. issuance and maintenance of a current card.
  3. connecting and maintenance of the internet bank.
  4. making and receiving payments in the internet bank (SEPA payments in the EEA countries).
  5. withdrawing cash from ATMs (within the established cash withdrawal limit).
  6. making regular payments.
