Travel the world in style and safety with new Visa card from Abbey

An exciting new range of Visa cards has been launched by Jersey based bank, Abbey International. The bank has partnered with Visa, AXA Insurance and Airport Angel to offer an extensive package of insurance, travel and lifestyle services as part of its new Platinum and Visa Infinite deferred debit cards.

Benefits available include international private medical insurance, travel insurance covering luggage theft and delays and a bespoke personal concierge service which can even source a nanny or a cleaner, which could be particularly useful if cardholders are travelling.

Jane Matthews, Head of Client Experience at Abbey International comments, “Our new range of Visa deferred debit cards are the result of careful planning and research into the real needs of the international traveller, whether they are abroad on business or for pleasure. We have put considerable effort into personalising the range of services at the point when they are needed, such as multi lingual help with medical treatment, if a cardholder or their family fall ill whilst abroad. At the other end of the scale, the Visa Infinite package can even find you a nanny to babysit while you are away or arrange for an exclusive personal shopping experience.”

The new Platinum and Visa Infinite cards are only available to holders of Abbey International’s popular Gold account. The Gold account already offers multi currency banking in sterling, euros and US dollars, as well as interest on credit balances and a comprehensive online banking package to enable clients to conduct banking online 24/7 from anywhere in the world. The Gold Account can also be linked to a Monthly Offshore Saver Account to combine the flexibility of a current account with guaranteed fixed rate savings.

The Platinum card has been developed for clients who regularly travel for business or pleasure, offering a high value and wide ranging package of benefits, whilst the Visa Infinite card sets new standards in bespoke personal services, with personal assistants on call from anywhere in the world to help with anything from travel, accommodation or restaurant planning. Benefits also include free use of Visa’s one-stop online travel store and Abbey International and Visa Infinite have even partnered with a leading authority on philanthropy to produce a unique and specially commissioned guide to effective giving.

Jane Matthews ends, “Our Gold account is at the centre of a powerful range of accounts and services which are designed to meet the most demanding needs of international clients everywhere. Multi currency internet banking, competitive interest savings rates and now the new Platinum and Visa Infinite cards bring together a range of exceptional account services, insurance and protection. Moreover, subject to balance requirements being met, cardholders can offset any monthly fee, so the suite of benefits can be entirely free of charge.”
