THERE has been much excitement leading up to the release of the long-awaited Justice League movie.

To join in the hype, RHB Bank Bhd launched its limited-edition Justice League debit cards in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Visa.

“As Malaysia moves closer towards becoming a cashless society, RHB hopes that the unique design will appeal to superhero fans and encourage them to actively use debit cards as a convenient and secure mode of payment.

“With features such as the contact-less payment Visa PayWave and MyDebit, Malaysians will be able to enjoy the benefits of electronic payments, including the ability to make purchases online and overseas.

“We look forward to introducing more card designs based on other Justice League superheroes next year as we continue to enhance our product features to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” RHB Banking Group Retail Banking acting head Nazri Othman said.

Featuring the superhero symbols of Wonderman, Superman and Batman, the debit cards offers 0.5% cashback on overseas rental spending.

Debit card holders also stand a chance to win RM50 cashback when they spend using these debit cards until Feb 28, 2018.

To further encourage its debit card holders to use their cards, the bank is also offering RM3 rebate for the first 5,000 customers on their first transaction. This monthly rebate ends Dec 31.

The RHB Justice League Debit Cards are available for RHB Bank current or savings account holders.

As for new RHB customers, they can either apply for a Smart Account via the RHB website or walk into any RHB Bank branch nationwide to open an RHB current or savings account.

“This year, we are seeing strong debit growth in Malaysia with debit card holders spending close to 20% more than last year.

“We believe Malaysians who are fans of superheroes will embrace the benefits and convenience of using these debit cards and switch from using cash.

“Together with Visa, we are committed to promoting the use of electronic payments and are aligned with Bank Negara Malaysia’s objective to increase debit penetration and move Malaysia toward becoming a cashless society,” Visa Malaysia country manager K.B. Ng said.

After the launch, business partners and media members were treated to an exclusive screening of Justice League at TGV Cinemas in Sunway Velocity Mall.
