NatWest has launched a new travel reward credit card in partnership with Visa.

The new card offers fee-free spending abroad, as well as cashback offers.

The move comes after the bank launched a new travel account that allows customers to spend euros abroad without being charged non-sterling fees. The account links euros to an existing current account debit card which can be used for purchases in euros abroad or online.

NatWest said that its new travel credit card includes one per cent back on eligible travel spending, including on planes, trains, car rental, ferries, buses, hotel accommodation, travel agents, cruises, campsites and more, as well as one to 15 per cent at selected partner retailers.

The launch forms part of the bank's longstanding partnership with Visa.

“Our new Travel Reward Credit card is rewarding our customers with one percent back on their travel spend," said Salim Secretary, head of payment schemes and partnerships, NatWest Group. "It is through our long-term collaboration with Visa that we have been able to further extend the choice of cards available to our customers.”

As part its partnership with Visa, NatWest launched a campaign using its sponsorship of Team GB and the credit card giant's sponsorship of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Existing NatWest customers who expressed an interest in the card were offered a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 Closing Ceremony and an exciting Olympic event, courtesy of Visa.

Mandy Lamb, managing director, UK & Ireland at Visa, said: “As part of our long-term collaboration, we’re delighted that NatWest will launch this new credit card in the UK, helping to deliver seamless, secure and flexible payment experiences. Together we’ll bring our world-class capabilities to millions of NatWest’s customers with all our products and services underpinned by our global commitment to be the best way to pay and be paid.”
