This means that customers are offered the same rates for calls, SMS and data while in the EU, as when in Malta and calling numbers on other local operators. In preparation for 'Roam Like at Home' GO has, in recent months, been providing additional roaming benefits to an ever-increasing number of customers. Pay As You GO customers have, in fact, been enjoying the full benefits of 'Roam Like at Home' since 3 May 2017.

With 'Roam Like at Home', all custom- ers can use their existing monthly plans or credit in the EU just like they do in Malta.

More information on 'Roam Like at Home' is available from www.go.com.mt APS Bank and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ an- nounced recently that they have extended their collaboration to jointly offer subsidised loans to young people over the next three years, thereby guaranteeing further financial aid at low interest rates through the Youth Specialisation Studies Scheme (YSSS). The scheme, which has been running since 1994, has assisted more than 400 Maltese youths wishing to pursue their studies abroad or through distance learning. Present for the signing ceremony was Parlia- mentary Secretary for Research, Innovation, Youth & Sport, Chris Agius, who said this ini- tiative recognises the importance of investing in "the pillars of the Maltese society", whose valuable talents and skills "can very well pave a more prosperous future for Malta." APS Bank's Head of Banking, Anthony Buttigieg, said "Everyone involved is united by a common aim: that of wanting young peo- ple to successfully pursue their studies whilst taking charge of their financial future. The Bank thus takes great pride in extending this collaboration." Aġenzija Żgħażagħ Chief Executive Officer, Miriam Teuma, said that "giving young peo- ple the opportunity to widen their academic horizons through this scheme will put them in a better position to thrive in the working world." This year's YSSS call for application is open until Friday, 16 June, 2017.
