Emirates Islamic has partnered with Amazon UAE and Mastercard to launch the first Amazon-branded credit card in the Middle East and North Africa.
The card, which will be available exclusively in the UAE, is designed to provide lifestyle-related benefits and flexible payment options in line with the country’s growing digital retail sector.
The Amazon Emirates Islamic Mastercard Credit Card will be offered without annual fees and allows customers to earn up to 6% in value back on purchases from Amazon.ae and up to 2.5% on spending elsewhere.
Rewards are credited instantly and can be redeemed against future Amazon.ae purchases.
The card will also feature a fully digital application process, digital-first management tools, and Mastercard’s tokenisation technology to support secure transactions.
Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President, Amazon Middle East, Africa, and Turkey, said:
“The new credit card offers an unmatched combination of rewards and benefits to shoppers in the UAE. True to our commitment that Prime is the best way to enjoy Amazon, this card is no different, offering incremental savings along the way to Prime members who sign up for the card.”
Farid AlMulla, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Islamic, added:
“Our new co-branded card is packed with features, discounts, and rewards suited for a wide range of consumers, helping them to not only experience all the lifestyle benefits offered within the UAE but abroad as well.”
The card will be available in two versions, offering either Mastercard World or Platinum privileges.
Cardholders will have access to more than 1,000 airport lounges, Priceless Cities benefits, instalment plans on Amazon.ae and select merchants, as well as discounts on travel, dining, golf, and other services.
Customers will also be eligible for a welcome bonus and additional benefits on international spending.
Applications for the Amazon Emirates Islamic Mastercard Credit Card are expected to open in the coming months.
