The Republic Bank/Price Smart Visa Platinum Card Launch

Port of Spain, Trinidad, June 24, 2019: Republic Bank and PriceSmart launched their first co-branded credit card on Tuesday 18 June at PriceSmart, Chaguanas. The card, Republic’s first cash back card, will see customers receiving 4% cash back on purchases made at all PriceSmart Clubs as well as 1% cash back on purchases made at all other VISA merchants, both locally and internationally.

The Bank’s Executive Director, Derwin Howell said “This co-branded card is a testament to our commitment to PriceSmart and theirs to Republic Bank. We look forward to what the future holds for this mutually beneficial relationship and the value it brings to our respective customers. Cash back acts as an incentive to spend smarter. By using a cash back credit card for all of your everyday purchases, instead of cash, or a debit card, customers can actually increase the flows of dollars back to them – ultimately reducing their costs. So, the more you use your card, the more cash is returned to you.”

The Republic Bank/Price Smart Visa Platinum Card has no cap on the amount of cash back rewards that customers can earn and there will also be no restrictions on redemption as well as no expiration date.

This co-branded card provides an enrolment in our prestigious Preferred Cardholder Programme and gives the customer access to a personal customer service hotline in Trinidad and Tobago and overseas. Personal concierge service, free auto rental insurance worldwide, International medical services (Up to US$150,000), price protection (Up to US$2,000 per account per year) purchase protection (up to US$10,000), extended warranty pprotection (Up to US$10,000 per account, per year), access cash at more than 840,000 Visa / Plus ABMs and Banks, worldwide and the Visa Luxury Hotel Collection, which offers Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum cardholders the most complete benefit programme for the world’s best hotels.
