The Standard Bank credit card primarily aims to offer exceptional benefits and access tailored for travelers.

The standout perk is a discount of up to 20% on flights booked with Emirates, one of the top airlines catering to numerous prime destinations worldwide.

Cardholders can also enjoy exclusive savings, including 10% cashback for hotel bookings through Booking.com, 35% off car rentals with Avis, and a 15% discount on IHG hotels and resorts.

Additionally, holders of the card enjoy unlimited access to lounges offered by Standard Bank, Bidvest, and International partners, plus up to 12 visits annually to the Standard Bank library and Fluent lounges.

The card’s maximum limit is R250,000, allowing ample credit for users. However, this limit may adjust based on individual credit assessments by Standard Bank.

To qualify for the card, applicants must have a minimum monthly income of R25,000, ensuring they can manage the card effectively.

When issued, the card comes with a one-time initiation fee of R190 and a monthly charge of R209. These fees support the card’s service management, with interest rates tailored to each user’s financial profile.

Besides meeting income standards, a good credit history is essential for approval. This shows responsible credit use, and being a current Standard Bank client is not necessary, making it open to more applicants.

Potential applicants can use the “Do I Qualify?” tool to check their eligibility, simplifying the application process and providing clear guidance.
