Republic Bank Credit Cards

A Republic Bank Credit Card is a safe and convenient way to make purchases and earn great rewards.
Republic Bank Credit Cards with Chip and PIN technology!

Our Chip and PIN credit cards were the first to be introduced in the English-speaking Caribbean.
Chip and PIN technology has many benefits:

  • It reduces fraud, making credit card transactions more secure and enhances the overall customer experience.
  • The embedded microchip on the card stores data more securely, preventing it from being easily copied or altered.
  • The unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) means that only you can use your card and do so securely.
  • These cards are also globally accepted, including in Europe and in the UK.

Do you know that your Republic Bank Credit Card can provide you with superior benefits and rewards? To ensure that you are not missing out on some of the wonderful benefits that your Republic Bank Credit Card has to offer, we have developed a comprehensive list of useful tips which will help you manage your credit card and maximise the great rewards!

TIP #1 Maximise your credit card rewards

Use your Republic Bank Credit Card instead of cash for your everyday purchases such as utility, mobile and grocery bill payments and earn either Cash Back or AAdvantage miles. Cash Back can be used anywhere that your credit card is accepted! AAdvantage miles can be redeemed at hotels and car rental companies worldwide as well as for travel on American Airlines and at 20 partner airlines including British Airways and Cathay Pacific.


TIP #2 Chip and PIN technology

Only a Republic Bank Credit Card has Chip and PIN technology. When you enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) at all chip-enabled terminals both locally and abroad, it will ensure that your transaction is authenticated by you. Change your PIN to something that is tied to your personal information to ensure that it can be easily remembered. The PIN must always be a four (4) digit number.

If the restaurant does not have a wireless terminal, be sure to accompany the sales representative to the terminal area to complete the transaction.
