Touted to be the first American Express cards in the country, the Equity Bank American Express Green Card and the Equity Bank American Express Gold cards will reportedly offer rich rewards and benefits.
The Green Card offers a range of retail and lifestyle benefits and is ideal for those who will mainly use their card to spend at local merchants in Kenya.
The Gold Card offers an additional tier of travel and lifestyle benefits and is particularly suited to those who are more frequent travellers or more likely to spend on leisure such as dining out.
Both the cards offer automatic enrolment to Membership Rewards, the loyalty programme from American Express. They also enable the cardholders to revolve their balance on the card, giving them the convenience of an extended payment option.
