Designed for affluent, globally connected individuals, the new card reinforces the Bank’s commitment to delivering best-in-class lifestyle, travel, and financial solutions tailored to the evolving expectations of discerning customers.

Positioned at the highest tier of Mastercard’s portfolio, the World Elite Credit Card is the ideal companion for luxury-oriented customers who value exclusivity, convenience, and superior rewards. Cardholders can earn 1.5 % value back on international spending and 1 % value back on domestic purchases, enabling them to enjoy tangible rewards on both domestic and overseas transactions.

These include travel inconvenience insurance and travel medical insurance, offering coverage against unexpected disruptions and medical emergencies. Combined with Mastercard’s advanced security features and global acceptance, the World Elite Credit Card ensures a secure and seamless payment experience wherever cardholders go.

Beyond travel, the Mastercard World Elite Credit Card offers elevated everyday value through preferential merchant offers, curated luxury experiences, and access to exclusive events and partnerships. Supported by higher credit limits, tailored rewards, and premium service standards, the card functions not merely as a payment tool, but as a lifestyle enabler aligned with the aspirations of high-net-worth and high-income customers.

The card is available to Omani nationals and residents aged 18 and above, with supplementary cards available from the age of 13.
