Chief Loyalty Officer of airasia Super App, Ong Wai Fong commented, “We are pleased to announce this partnership with Bank Rakyat which offers their cardholders a new avenue to use their Rakyat Rewards Points on airasia Super App, a convenient option to maximise the value of their rewards that would otherwise be out of reach.

With this partnership, Bank Rakyat cardholders will have the freedom to choose more ways to make the most out of their Rakyat Rewards Points which we believe will help boost points redemption activities, increase card spending and drive business growth. Ultimately this will add value for both Bank Rakyat’s cardholders and our members alike, a step closer for us to realise our vision of making airasia points a borderless digital loyalty currency.”

Bank Rakyat through its Bank Rakyat 2025 (BR25) plan has always put Great Customer Experience at the forefront of the Bank’s strategy and therefore this partnership with airasia rewards will definitely allow exciting new ways for their customers to utilise the Rakyat Rewards Points on airasia Super App.
