Singapore - Maybank Singapore has relaunched the Maybank Business Platinum MasterCard, becoming the first bank to include an option for companies to feature their company logo and name on a business credit card. This exclusive logo personalisation feature is much sought after and is now extended as a complimentary service to allow businesses to showcase their brand to partners and associates, thereby creating an impression whenever it is used. And to better meet the travelling needs of business customers, Maybank has enhanced the suite of travel benefits which currently offer complimentary VIP airport lounge access and travel insurance, to include complimentary limousine airport transfer for Cardmembers when they charge their travel expenses to the Card.   

The Maybank Business Platinum MasterCard provides companies with an additional line of credit and offers a one-stop payment solution for all their business expenses. To help companies manage their business expenses in a smarter way, the Maybank Business Platinum MasterCard offers an online expense management tool that lets companies monitor individual employee spend and track the company’s expenses. Furthermore, a consolidated detailed statement for all cards issued will be mailed to the company at the end of each billing cycle, ensuring a clear view of overall company expenditure.

Commenting on the relaunch of the Maybank Business Platinum MasterCard, Alan Lau, Head of Consumer Banking, Maybank Singapore, said “At Maybank Singapore, we review our product offerings from time to time to ensure we stay relevant to the business needs of our customers. The relaunch of the Maybank Business Platinum MasterCard is timely as we seek to grow our business credit card segment by 10% over the next two years, especially through deepening existing relationships with business customers. We strive to better serve the business community by offering this Card as part of a more comprehensive suite of business banking products.”

All Singapore incorporated companies that have been in business for at least three years and with an annual sales turnover of S$100,000 and above are eligible to apply for this Card.
