Access Bank Plc in a bid to improve its overall offering to its retail and private bank customers has launched two new consumer credit cards: the Access Bank American Express Gold Card and the metal Platinum Card.
Access Bank in 2019 partnered with American Express to start acquiring merchants, enabling businesses across the country to accept payments from international American Express Cards. The bank is now ready to issue the first American Express credit cards in West Africa. The American Express Card offers a wide range of travel and lifestyle benefits.
Commenting on the recent launching, Roosevelt Ogbonna, Managing Director and CEO of Access Bank Plc stated thus:
“The launch of American Express Cards in Nigeria is another milestone in the continued development of a vibrant and fast-growing payments industry. Customers want more than transactions – they want real value. With American Express, we can provide valuable card benefits, strong loyalty rewards, and a real reason to use electronic payments instead of cash. By diversifying our services to facilitate payments, we can connect more consumers to the SMEs and retail businesses across the country who we know are the engine of economic growth.”
