It also provides a seamless customer experience, as the reward is automatically identified and credited to the cardholder’s account. This is a very powerful tool to complement existing loyalty offerings, to further drive meaningful customer engagement and build long-term customer loyalty for both the bank and participating merchants.”
Gavin Dein, founder and CEO of Reward, explains, " Our collaboration with Visa allows banks to enhance the value they provide to customers via personalized merchant-funded offers on debit and credit cards. This arrangement results in a triple-win: customers benefit from increased rewards, banks profit as merchants cover the reward expenses, and merchants can allocate their marketing budgets in a highly personalized and accountable manner."
