Dubai: Standard Chartered on Monday launched a business credit card in the UAE primarily targeted at the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment.
The 'Gold Business Credit Card', co-branded with Singapore Airlines, offers business-centric benefits such as automatic membership to KrisFlyer - the loyalty programme of Singapore Airlines, the flexibility to convert business rewards from the credit card to KrisFlyer miles, preferential rates and offers from leading international hotels and discounts on office supplies, equipment and courier services.
"Our Business Credit Card is aligned with our ongoing drive to deliver first-class services to all our valued customers above and beyond their stated needs," said Chris De Bruin, head of consumer banking chartered for the UAE.
As part of the promotion the cardholders are offered a free return ticket from Dubai to Singapore. Members can also benefit from an exclusive invitation to the Platinum Tier membership of Best Western Hotels - a global hotel chain with over 4,100 hotels across Asia, Middle East, Europe and North America.
Other offers
Other business centric offers include 20 per cent discount on standard business couriers from DHL, a 20 per cent discount voucher on office supplies from Emirates Trading Establishment, 15 per cent on any Xerox product from the business range, up to 12 per cent discount on printers from CADD Emirates and up to 40 per cent discount on Thrifty car rentals in the UAE.
"With the introduction of this credit card, we strengthen our existing credit card range including our recently introduced Platinum Credit Card and our 'Saadiq' Islamic credit card," said De Bruin.
