Through the partnership, GTBank has launched its first platinum MasterCard credit card in Kenya, a move that will cater to the increasing demand for enhanced card products in the nation’s middle class segment.
EMP East & Southern Africa managing director Wayne Harris said: "Our collaboration with GTBank is based on a shared ambition for the people using East Africa’s financial infrastructure.
"GTBank’s focus on this area and their plans to deploy new payment services in a range of countries makes them an ideal partner."
By using MasterCard branded cards, GTBank customers can access their bank accounts 24 hours a day via the bank’s ATM network and at any other MasterCard branded ATMs and at Points of Sale (POS) across the country and all around the world.
