NatWest and Visa launch new credit card to support and reward UK customers

London, 22 August 2024: NatWest Group has collaborated with Visa, a world leader in digital payments, to launch a new travel reward credit card, available now in the UK for NatWest customers.

The card offers a range of features, including:

  • 1% back on eligible travel spending, including on planes, trains, car rental, ferries, buses, hotel accommodation, travel agents, cruises, campsites and more.
  • 1% to 15% at selected partner retailers.
  • No foreign transaction fees on purchases abroad.
  • No annual fee.

This launch is the latest in a long-term collaboration between Visa and NatWest Group to offer customers access to Visa’s debit and credit cards to help them manage their spending with greater ease, security, flexibility and control.

As part of this partnership, NatWest launched a campaign that leveraged the energy between its sponsorship of Team GB and Visa’s sponsorship of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Existing NatWest customers who expressed an interest in the card were offered a chance to win a pair of tickets to a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience – the Olympic Games Paris 2024 Closing Ceremony and an exciting Olympic event, courtesy of Visa.

Mandy Lamb, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, at Visa, also commented: “As part of our long-term collaboration, we’re delighted that NatWest will launch this new credit card in the UK, helping to deliver seamless, secure and flexible payment experiences. Together we’ll bring our world-class capabilities to millions of NatWest’s customers with all our products and services underpinned by our global commitment to be the best way to pay and be paid.”

Salim Secretary, Head of Payment Schemes and Partnerships at NatWest Group, commented: “Our new Travel Reward Credit card is rewarding our customers with one percent back on their travel spend. It is through our long-term collaboration with Visa that we have been able to further extend the choice of cards available to our customers.”
