The new Mastercard debit cards offer the same perks as Yonder's credit card: points earning, zero foreign exchange fees, curated local rewards and travel-friendly benefits.
The Yonder Free Debit earns one point per £1 spent with no monthly fee. The Yonder Full Debit earns four points per £1 spent, gets full access to all Yonder Experiences travel insurance worth £275 for £15 a month or £160 a year.
Founded by three Clearscore alumni and launched in 2022 with £20 million in startup funding, Yonder aims to tackle the problems expats with no credit history face when applying for a credit card in the UK.
The firm uses open banking data to build a more nuanced, personalised picture of its customers' spending habits and suitability for credit and offers a suite of rewards-based offers to cardholders.
The firm says its members have spent more than £170 million, saving over £1.2 million in FX fees & redeeming £1.1 million in rewards.
Earlier this year, it secured a minority investment from NatWest, with the high street giant planning to collaborate with Yonder to bring their insights and approaches to customer experience, engagement, and reward to its 19 million-strong customer base.

Saudi Arabia raised crude exports in June, Kpler data shows
LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia increased its crude exports in June by 450,000 barrels per day (bpd) from May's level, Kpler data showed, to its highest in more than a year. The increase was against a backdrop of concern over supply disruption because of conflict in the Middle East as well as a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Saudi crude exports rose to 6.33 million bpd in June from 5.88 million bpd in May, Kpler data shows. The increase from Saudi Arabia as part of efforts to build market share also coincided with a decision by OPEC+ to raise its oil output quotas in June by 411,000 bpd.

Unit prices make it easier for shoppers to compare similar items of different sizes. You should be able to see the product's unit price where its price tag is shown - it may be in small print. It displays the cost of different products by weight, or volume. It helps you easily compare the costs of different products, regardless of their respective sizes. Compare this with the unit price of a similar item - for example, the cost per 100ml or two different types of cola - and choose the item with the lowest unit cost. For example at Tesco, a pack of 15 330ml cans of Coca-Cola Zero is priced at £7.90. The unit price is shown as 16p per 100ml. Shoppers can compare this original price to a 2litre bottle of Coca-Cola Zero which is priced at £1.85, and labelled as 9p per 100ml. Those with a Clubcard can get the same multipack of cans for the lower price of £6. But there is no label showing the equivalent price per 100ml. It would work out as 12p per 100ml, making the bottle better value overall despite the discount. The changes Tesco is making will make this clear on shelves. Stores must show unit pricing under legislation known as the Price Marking Order 2004. With this in mind, paying close attention to the unit prices of the staples in your shopping trolley could save you a fortune in the long term.

Ban on ‘exploitative' zero-hours contracts to come into effect in 2027
A ban on 'exploitative' zero-hours contracts and 'day-one' protections against unfair dismissal will not come into force until 2027 as the Government seeks to give businesses time to prepare for its workers' rights reforms. Ministers have opted for a 'phased' rollout of the changes, which were a Labour manifesto promise, in order to balance safeguards for employees with 'the practical realities' of running a company. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hailed the Government's flagship Employment Rights Bill, which is making its way through Parliament, as 'the single biggest upgrade to workers' rights in a generation'. Its measures include bolstered rights to parental leave, a crackdown on 'fire and rehire' practices and the removal of the lower earnings limit and waiting period for statutory sick pay. Under plans outlined in a 'roadmap' published by the Government on Tuesday, some changes will be implemented immediately after the Bill receives royal assent but others will take two years to come into effect. After the legislation has passed, Conservative-era rules restricting industrial action in sectors including health and education will be abolished as the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 will be instantly appealed. New protections against dismissal for striking workers will also come into effect after the Bill makes it onto the statute books. Changes to sick pay, protections for whistleblowers, 'day-one' paternity leave and unpaid parental leave and reforms to strengthen financial security for staff facing mass redundancies will take effect in April 2026. In October 2026, measures to end 'unscrupulous' fire and rehire practices, tightened tipping laws aimed at ensuring workers take home a fair proportion of gratuity will be implemented, the Government said. Measures to strengthen right of access for trade unions and protect employees from harassment are now also due to come into effect next October under the roadmap. Finally in 2027, the Government says it will have implemented: – Full gender pay gap and menopause action plans, which aim to support women in the workplace and will be introduced on a voluntary basis from next April – Bereavement leave – A ban on the 'exploitative' use of zero-hours contracts – 'Day-one' rights to protection against unfair dismissal – Improved access to flexible working, for example by allowing people to work from home – Strengthened protections against dismissal for pregnant women and new mothers. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the Government was 'working fast' to deliver the reforms, with some due to kick in 'within months'. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: 'By phasing implementation, our collaborative approach balances meaningful worker protections with the practical realities of running a successful business, creating more productive workplaces where both employees and employers can thrive.' The Department for Business and Trade said that providing a 'structured timeline' would allow stakeholders to plan their time and resources to ensure they are ready for the changes. The Government will continue to consult with 'business groups, employers, workers and trade unions' in phases on the detail of the measures, beginning this summer and continuing into the new year, it said. Hospitality and recruitment bodies welcomed the time to prepare, while union leaders urged employers 'not to wait' for the law change before implementing the reforms. TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: 'It's welcome that workers will start to benefit from these long overdue changes from later this year – but this timetable must be a backstop. 'We need to see these new rights in action as soon as possible. Decent employers don't need to wait for the law to change. 'They should be working with staff and unions right now to introduce these changes as quickly as possible.' GMB general secretary Gary Smith said: 'GMB members now know when these much-needed improvements will happen – we urge good employers not to wait; do the right thing and make these changes a reality today.' Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: 'Clear and precise timelines on when aspects of this legislation, and the processes to deliver them, will come into force is essential, and it was important that the Government embark on providing clarity. 'There are substantial changes for businesses in the Employment Rights Bill and it's right that the Government is using the appropriate implementation periods for the most complex issues for hospitality, in order to get the details right for both businesses and workers.' Neil Carberry, Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) chief executive, said: 'This clear timeline on the Employment Rights Bill gives room for full and frank consultation on how the new rules will be structured. It also gives businesses important time to plan. 'Now we have the roadmap, ongoing and meaningful engagement will be critical to ensuring new regulations allow the flexibility workers and companies value to remain.'
