RBC, CAL launch new Visa Platinum Card

At the card’s launch on Monday at the Hyatt Regency, RBC’s managing director Darryl White said the card has been around for many years but they felt the need to improve on it.

“We are a bank that prides ourselves in challenging the status quo, trying to give more to our clients and it was a product that we’ve had for a while and people loved it and people will keep asking for the miles card,” White said.

“What we have discovered is, even when we launched other cards, nobody wanted to give up their CAL card.” He said earlier this year, RBC and CAL renewed their partnership and commitment to their clients.

He said as a business, they have to challenge themselves and deliver the right products and service day in and day out and a differentiated experience that gives clients the convenience, choice and freedom they want.

“As consumers when we use our cards, we want that confidence that the transaction will be protected and the new RBC visa card ensures our clients have the highest level of safety and protection of their assets and their purchases. This speaks to who we are as a bank. We imagine what is possible for our clients and we work hard to turn those possibilities into realities.

“At RBC we strive to be innovative because we know our clients want the freedom and the convenience to do the things that are important to them.” Vice president of maintenance and engineering at CAL, Colville Carrington said the launch of the card was another milestone in their relationship.

“Our brands are all committed to delivering improved products and services that cater to the evolving needs of the market place.

This commitment is central to Caribbean Airlines’ strategy and to our strategic plan and is expressed in our new mission connecting people, realising dreams,” he said.

The card offers its users purchase protection benefits, emergency medical services, auto rental and travel accident insurance, travel information services, exclusive offers and concierge service.
