Neobank Blackcatcard has started issuing Mastercard cards with a new visual design and expanded capabilities
The Blackcatcard fintech ecosystem, issued by Papaya Ltd, introduces new Mastercard plastic cards with a new visual design with expanded capabilities, for both individuals and businesses.
The new cards issued by neobank now have attractive physical characteristics, special design according to the type of user and all the benefits offered in the Blackcatcard ecosystem. The new design highlights the elegant range of colours, darker than the current card, in combination with the now turquoise eyes of Blackcatcard’s iconic cats. This set of details gives a very sophisticated and attractive look to the cards, which captures the attention of whoever holds them in their hands.
In terms of texture, the cards will now have no embossing, giving them a more sober style that is more comfortable to the touch. It should also be noted that the card numbers are now located on the back, keeping the security data out of sight, while the front concentrates the most outstanding innovative graphic elements. As for the face of the cats on the cards, there are also differences depending on the type of client requesting the card.
At the same time, cards with the new design have also been upgraded to function as credit cards. This means that such cards can be accepted by those services that historically only accept credit cards for payment of services. This option is very useful for travelers who book a car or accommodation through services that do not accept debit cards. However, these redesigned credit cards do not provide access to any credit products and services, nor do they allow you to overdraft.
Individuals who get this new design will find that their cat resembles the current design, but with dazzling turquoise eyes. They can order their new cards as extras for just 7 euros per card and only 2 euros monthly maintenance fee for all extra cards ordered.
Giving customers extra cards Blackcatcard also gives them practical opportunities to plan and divide the family budget by issuing extra cards with different names and different designs, for example a family or children’s style card, which not only makes it possible to separate consumption, but also get an aesthetic pleasure.
The model of this type of card has also been renovated. The family style card was renewed with the general design for individuals, while the child style card will have a different model, as the cat’s design changes completely, from a small and tender friend to a larger, more natural and dynamic cat. Additional cards also provide additional benefits. For example, the possibility to personalize them with a specific name that represents the client’s personality, such as a childhood nickname, a nickname that the client’s family calls him/her by, among many other options.
Having additional cards, both virtual and plastic, also makes it possible to increase the level of security in case payments are made on different sites. If phishing is suspected on a website, it is possible to block the card in question, so that the funds are safe and can be used through the other cards. All additional cards with the new design are Mastercard credit-worthy payment cards.
The main plastic and virtual cards as well as the IBAN account are still free for individuals without a monthly service fee. In addition, up to 5 SEPA transfers and all incoming payments are available to these customers each month for free.
In addition, as part of the bonus program provided by the Blackcatcard partner FINTECH ASSETS OÜ, private customers can choose one of the following four options:
- 2.2% annual reward
- up to 5% cashback for purchases on Google Play
- up to 2% cashback for purchases on Amazo
- 0.1% cashback on all card purchases
- Individuals can switch bonus programs at any time.
With new designs and partnership programs, Blackcatcard takes online banking on the innovation path to a new level, generating solutions that meet customers’ needs in aesthetic, operational and financial aspects.
