Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye (MENAT) region, announced the launch of the Emirates NBD Voyager Mastercard credit card. Designed to redefine modern travel, this innovative proprietary credit card delivers a comprehensive and seamlessly integrated experience, providing end-to-end services across the entire journey.
The Voyager credit card arrives at a pivotal moment as the UAE’s travel and tourism industry surges, riding on a wave of strong post-pandemic recovery and evolving customer preferences. With the UAE’s affluent and tech-savvy population increasingly seeking curated travel experiences, outbound travel trends show remarkable growth. Market research reveals one in three UAE residents plan at least two international trips annually, with an increasing preference for family vacations spanning 9 to 15 days.
The card has been designed to serve a broad spectrum of traveller profiles, ranging from families and frequent business travellers to avid global explorers, and offering a tailored suite of features and services that elevate and simplify the travel experience. The Voyager credit card provides a comprehensive set of features and services including:
Competitive Rewards Structure
The Voyager card offers a market-leading rewards programme, enabling cardholders to earn up to 12 Voyager Miles on bookings made through the Voyager Travel Portal, up to 6 Voyager Miles on other travel-related expenditures worldwide, and 1 Voyager Mile on all retail purchase, making every expense count toward exciting travel rewards.
Dedicated Travel Booking Portal
Accessible through Emirates NBD’s online banking and mobile app, the Voyager Travel Portal serves as a one-stop solution for seamless travel planning, allowing cardholders to browse and book flights across major global airlines and reserve accommodation with premium international and regional hotel partners. Further, cardholders can maximise rewards by transferring Voyager Miles to leading airline frequent flyer programmes and hotel loyalty schemes worldwide for optimal redemption.
Integrated Travel Management Services
The card provides comprehensive support throughout the journey with best-in-class travel management services, including simplified visa processing powered by OneVasco, complimentary airport lounge access globally, extensive travel insurance including medical coverage, complimentary airport transfers, both domestic and international, fast-track immigration and meet-and-greet services and global connectivity solutions to keep travellers connected seamlessly.
Rohit Garg, Group Head of Retail Products and RBWM Chief Digital Officer at Emirates NBD, said: “With the Emirates NBD Voyager Mastercard credit card, our goal is to simplify the travel process for our customers, offering both exceptional value and unparalleled convenience. Unlike traditional co-branded offerings, this card delivers a complete travel ecosystem, designed to cover various aspects of a traveller’s journey.
