National Bank of Fujairah introduces multi-currency debit card for seamless global transactions - Middle East Business News and Information
Customer experience enhanced by making cross border payments simpler and more cost-effective. Dubai – National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) has announced the launch of its multi-currency debit card, a cutting-edge payment solution designed to enhance convenience and cost efficiency for travellers and international spenders. The new product allows customers to link a single AED debit card to multiple currency accounts, enabling seamless transactions in AED, USD, EUR, and GBP without incurring unnecessary foreign exchange conversion fees. The NBF multi-currency debit card is designed to simplify cross-border payments by automatically debiting transactions from the appropriate currency account.

'We are excited to introduce the NBF multi-currency debit card as part of our commitment to delivering innovative financial solutions tailored to our customers' evolving needs,' added Adnan Anwar, CEO at NBF. 'This card offers a cost-effective way for travellers and global spenders to manage their payments seamlessly enhancing their experience and convenience .'
