Gulf Bank adds Emirates Airline to ‘Easy Pay’ program
Credit cardholders to enjoy stress-free travel experience
KUWAIT CITY, Oct 7: Gulf Bank is proud to announce the addition of Emirates Airline as part of a growing list of over 100 shopping partners in its Easy Pay program. The program, which is the first of its kind in Kuwait, allows Gulf Bank credit cardholders to shop from a variety of different vendors and pay for their purchases in installments over the course of 12 months, with 0 percent interest.
With the addition of Emirates Airline as an Easy Pay partner, customers can now enjoy a more stress-free travel experience, and pay for airline tickets over an extended period of time with no additional processing or interest fees. Emirates is the world’s largest international airline, and operates six daily flights to and from Kuwait, connecting travelers to over 150 destinations across 86 countries through Dubai. The airline operates the world’s largest fleet of Airbus 380s and Boeing 777s, offering customers an unmatched travel experience through industry trendsetting products and services onboard. In June 2019, Emirates began operating its latest Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the “Game Changer” First Class suites, providing more choices for its customers in Kuwait to experience its latest onboard products.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Ahmad Al Amir, Assistant General Manager of External Communications at Gulf Bank, said: “With the addition of Emirates Airline as an Easy Pay partner, traveling just got that much easier and more accessible for our Gulf Bank credit cardholders. With over 150 destinations to choose from, Gulf Bank customers can now enjoy an even more convenient way to plan their annual vacations, without worrying about additional processing or interest fees.

Combined with experiencing our world-class product and high-quality service, customers will be able to connect to the Emirates network and reach their destination in comfort and style.”
