KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- AmBank has entered in an exclusive partnership with Enrich, Malaysia Airlines’ travel and lifestyle loyalty programme, to launch two new travel credit cards, the AmBank Enrich Visa Infinite Credit Card and AmBank Enrich Visa Platinum Credit Card. Powered by Visa, these co-branded credit cards aim to offer avid travellers a world of privileges, lifestyle rewards and priority services.

“We are excited to expand our partnership with our national carrier, Malaysia Airlines, with its renowned reputation for bringing Malaysian Hospitality to over 900 destinations across 170 territories. This collaboration comes as we have seen a significant increase in our customers’ travel-related and airlines spending with a jump of 45% from pre-Covid period. These cards are not just credit cards; they provide a gateway to extraordinary experiences where the journey is as rewarding as the destination,” said Aaron Loo, Managing Director, Retail Banking, AmBank.
 
According to Philip See, Chief Executive Officer of Loyalty and Travel Services, Malaysia Aviation Group, “We are pleased to usher in a new era of travel rewards through our co-branded partnership with Visa and AmBank. This exclusive collaboration aims to redefine the travel landscape by offering exclusive benefits to Enrich members and we invite everyone to embark on a journey where every transaction unlocks unparalleled rewards and creates memorable experiences to dream destinations and beyond.”
 
Serene Gay, Group Country Manager, Regional Southeast Asia, Visa, said, “Visa is delighted to partner with AmBank and Enrich to offer the new co-branded credit cards.  The launch is particularly timely and in tandem with a current healthy appetite for international travel among Malaysians, where cross-border payment volume by Malaysian cardholders grew over 30% compared to the previous year¹.  Based on our recent study², Malaysian travellers intend to take an average of 2.7 international trips this year.  We believe the speed, convenience, and security that are synonymous with digital payments together with a suite of privileges will help elevate cardholders’ experiences when they travel and pay with Visa.”
 
As part of the launch, AmBank also introduced a limited time only welcome offer for new applicants until 30 September 2024. Successful new applicants can receive up to 10,000 Enrich Points, a trip for 2 to London in Business Class or Phuket in Economy Class by being a top spender, and an additional up to 10,000 Enrich Points for every successful referral.
