The card is designed to enhance the lifestyle and travel experiences of modern-day explorers, a media statement read on Monday.
This co-branded initiative combines EBL’s innovative banking services with ShareTrip’s lifestyle and travel expertise and Visa’s global payment network, creating a product ecosystem that caters to both frequent travelers and aspirational globetrotters.
With a wide range of curated benefits, the cards are designed to offer substantial savings on flights, hotels, shopping, and exclusive lifestyle privileges both locally and internationally.
