As a market leader in payment cards with a rich history of launching innovative products, Emirates NBD has partnered with global digital payments leader, Visa to be the first bank to launch this program worldwide. The card provides customers with the opportunity to pick and choose the features they want to access, to complement their lifestyle and preferences, making the card as unique as themselves.
Driven by changing consumer demands around personalization, the Visa Flexi Credit Card is aimed at people who appreciate flexibility and customization in all aspects of their life. Customers can choose from a wide range of boutique benefits including movie and music subscription offers, concierge services as well as travel related services. They can also select from an array of premium benefits comprising golfing privileges, free access to WiFi worldwide, international medical assistance, ride hailing service credits and others. Customers can make the choices on their own on the Visa Digital Benefits online platform once they sign up for the card, and also refresh the list if needed after a period of one year in line with their new preferences.
Further, customers will earn up to 1.5% of all spends on the card as reward Plus Points that can be redeemed instantly with participating partners or for cashback, as well as enjoy features such as free purchase protection, travel inconvenience insurance and premium dining offers.
