Suvo Sarkar, Head of Retail Banking, NBD, said: "Dnata is one of the largest suppliers of travel services in the Middle East and we are delighted to be able to team up with them to offer such a unique product."
He added:
"Our partnership with Dnata will enable us to provide our credit card customers with a variety of value-added benefits and attractive offers unmatched in the marketplace."
Apart from a range of competitive credit card benefits that include high credit limits, acceptance at millions of Mastercard Merchants worldwide and 24-hour customer assistance, the NBD-Dnata MasterCard Credit Card allows its holders to earn reward points every time they use their card anywhere in the world. These accumulated points can then be redeemed at selected Dnata outlets for any of their products or services, including tickets at more than 130 airlines, exotic holiday packages and various other services.
The new Credit Card's powerful reward programme will allow cardholders to earn up to 10 per cent of the amount spent on the card. The redemption plan is simplified in order to allow the customer to know the exact value of the reward points, thus differentiating the NBD-Dnata MasterCard Credit Card from other cards in the market.
Iain Andrew, Senior Vice President, Dnata Agencies, said: "We're very pleased to partner with NBD in this exciting new credit card which opens up a world of travel adventure to NBD customers.
"We pride ourselves in providing the very best in travel expertise and product quality, and look forward to extending our services to NBD customers through the new NBD-Dnata MasterCard Credit Card."
