Tirana, 23 February 2007 – Now you can pay your local taxes using any Visa, MasterCard or Maestro card. You can do this at any of the counters of the General Directorate of Local Taxes for the Municipality of Tirana (GDLTM). This service is provided free of charge for all individuals and businesses like you.

All you need to do, when visiting these counters, is to use your Visa, MasterCard or Maestro card and the payment will be effected immediately through the POS terminals that have been installed there. Thus you do not need to use cash.

If you want to take advantage of this service, but do not have a card, then the American Bank invites you to apply for an ABAcard at any of its counters. You can get your card and start using it within a day.

The agreement for the installation of the POS terminals was signed in July of 2006, between the American Bank of Albania and the GDLTM of Tirana, in order to improve payment of local taxes as well as expand the card payment service for citizens.
