BDO NOW CARRIES DINERS CLUB CARDS

BDO Unibank further widened its consumer lending portfolio by becoming the exclusive issuer of Diners Club credit cards in the Philippines.

Diners Club, a storied American charge card brand, now targets a diverse range of clients, from young professionals who are first time card users to high networth individuals.

"BDO carries the most number of credit card brands, and the widest range of credit cards in the country,” said Rolando Tan- chanco, BDO executive vice president and consumer lending group head. “We introduce the BDO Diners Club Credit Cards to further expand the dining and travel perks and privileges we offer our cardholders.”

Under the auspices of BDO—which acquired the Diners Club franchise from Security Bank at end-2016—two types of Diners Club Cards will be issued: the BDO Diners Club International Credit Card and BDO Diners Club Premiere Credit Card. Both cards earn instant miles for every purchase, P50 to one mile and P30 to one mile respectively—one of the lowest spend requirement to earn miles in the industry.

BDO Diners Club Premiere Credit Cardholders who have a penchant for luxury dining can avail themselves of a special double-your-miles privilege for all dining merchants, local and overseas.

“We provide the broadest airport club access than other networks, so we feel very good with over 800 lounges around the world,” said Joe Hurley, SVP and head of global business development for Discover Financial Services, operator of the Diners Club brand.
