The National bank of Abu Dhabi’s NBAD Stars Prepaid Card has won a prominent recognition as the best prepaid gift card at a recent industry awards event.
The NBAD Stars Prepaid Card, a loyalty redemption card, was named the Best Gift/Incentive Program Open and Closed Loop of the Year at the prestigious Prepaid Middle East Summit and Awards 2014, sponsored by Visa Inc., one of the world’s largest retail electronic payments networks.
“This award recognises NBAD’s commitment to provide its clients with innovative products and services in this dynamic market,” says Navneet Dave, Director Cards Business at NBAD.
The NBAD Stars Gift Card is the first of its kind in the region as it allows NBAD Credit Cardholder to load his/her NBAD Stars on a prepaid card, which can be used for payment at anywhere in the world where Visa cards are accepted.
“NBAD Stars Prepaid Card is the best option in the market for redeeming loyalty points as it has made redemption process so easy and convenient,” Mr. Dave added.
“On behalf of Visa, I would like to congratulate NBAD on winning this award,” said Marcello Baricordi, General Manager for Visa in the UAE and Global Accounts Lead. “The popularity of this card is due to its flexibility and security, not to mention convenience, offering customers many of the same features and benefits as a Visa credit or debit card. The Visa prepaid card forms part of a suite of innovative Visa products and services that have been developed to meet the rapidly changing needs of Visa customers across the region.”
NBAD Stars, the premier rewards programme in the UAE, offers all NBAD credit card cardholders Stars for every dirham spent. In addition, cardholders benefit from extra Stars at select partners that include travel agencies, luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, high end brand clothing, furniture retailers, and more.
