Stanbic Bank has unveiled two premium credit cards with exclusive benefits designed to enhance the banking experience for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs).

The cards include the Stanbic World Elite Card and the Stanbic World Card premium cards, which are aimed at affluent clients through a partnership with Mastercard.

The new offerings provide access to over 1,200 airport lounges in 135+ countries and include perks such as a 30 percent discount at more than 800 golf clubs worldwide, including Kenya.

Positioned within Stanbic’s Personal and Private Banking division, the cards are part of the bank’s affluent banking strategy to deliver luxury and personalized financial solutions.

Stanbic’s Head of Personal and Private Banking, Abraham Ongenge, emphasized the importance of offering clients access to value-added platforms and services.

“These cards not only grant access to premium benefits but also connect clients with exclusive experiences and solutions,” he said.

Mastercard’s Senior Vice President for East Africa, Shehryar Ali, noted that the collaboration aims to blend comfort and luxury for an exceptional banking experience.

The metallic Stanbic World Elite Card, a first in East Africa, offers advanced security features, contactless payments, and fraud protection.

It also includes lifestyle privileges such as access to premium events, exclusive dining, luxury travel, and visa assistance.
