Mashreq, a financial institution in the UAE, has launched a new premium credit card for corporates that can help to streamline business expense management, while offering more benefits to employees.

The new Mashreq Corporate Credit Card caters to the needs of large companies seeking to maximise control, drive savings and increase efficiency while providing attractive benefits to their employees. Companies may use the credit card for consolidating expenses such as municipality fees, hardware or software purchases, utility payments, stationery bills, insurance payments, import duties etc. The card also helps centralise business expenses of employees relating to travel, hotels and business entertainment, among others.

The benefits for employees include unlimited complimentary access to 500+ premium airport lounges worldwide through the LoungeKey Program and free Marhaba lounge access across the Middle East. Employees can also gain access to professional workspaces in 1,825 locations through the MasterCard business lounge programme, powered by Regus at preferred rates. Also, on offer is complimentary travel insurance covering the cost of medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost baggage and much more, ensuring absolute peace of mind during business travels.

The Mashreq Corporate Credit Card solution also comes with a state-of-the-art web-based reporting tool for expense and information management through the MasterCard smartdata.gen2 platform, helping companies turn their data into business intelligence with access to customisable templates and reports.

The card can be customised with the company’s name, logo or preferred image on the card face. The card can be issued in the name of the employee, company or a department. Companies can also have online control with cardholder limits and will receive SMS alerts when a card reaches 80% of its credit limit. Corporates can also choose one of four statement billing cycles.

Pankaj Kundra, Head of Payments at Mashreq said, “Mashreq Cards are associated with being unique with the most relevant benefits for our cardholders.
