“I am pleased to roll out our latest credit card in line with a commitment to provide customers with financial solutions that better suits their needs whilst rewarding them for their loyalty. Our Platinum credit card is a one of its kind credit card focused at creating a new benchmark to help meet the lifestyle aspirations of the high spending customer segment and I consider it to be a remarkable addition to our existing portfolio which includes the La carte credit cards and our Diners Club cards. Customers who shop with our platinum credit card will receive 1 mile per BD 2 spent locally and 1 mile per BD spent outside the country,” Eyad Sater, General Manager for Support Services at BMI Bank, said.
