The new Citizens Private Client™ World Elite Mastercard®
directly addresses both companies’ commitment to enhancing the
customer experience and fostering financial empowerment. The Touch
Card feature enables people who are blind or partially sighted to
easily distinguish their payment cards from one another using touch
alone. The new card also offers unique benefits, including yearly
rebate for Citizens Private Client checking customers, unlimited 2%
cash back(1), TSA Pre-Check/Global Entry rebates and airport lounge
access, as well as access to Priceless Experiences. As part of
Citizens Private Client, customers receive personalized,
world-class financial advice and investment management to help them
achieve their financial goals.
“The launch of the Citizens Private Client metal card is another
strong step in building a world-class offering for our Private
Client customers,” said Brendan Coughlin, Vice Chairman and Head of
Consumer Banking at Citizens. “We are committed to being our
customers’ trusted financial advisor by providing cutting-edge
products, advice and experiences that reward them for their
business and loyalty. This innovative launch with Mastercard is
another example of the continued value our customers receive when
banking with Citizens.”
Announced in 2021, Mastercard’s Touch Card improves
accessibility for customers who are blind and partially sighted
with innovative, tactile notches — rounded for debit, squared for
credit and triangular for prepaid — so anyone can identify their
cards with just a touch. Mastercard’s Touch Card has been vetted
and endorsed by various industry organizations around the
world.
“The launch of the new Citizens Private Client Mastercard is an
exciting milestone in our expanded partnership with Citizens,” said
Linda Kirkpatrick, President, North America at Mastercard.
“Embedding Mastercard’s Touch Card feature exemplifies our mutual
commitment to innovation and customer experience. We look forward
to continuing to work with Citizens to create the best experiences
for their cardholders.”
The Touch Card feature will be introduced on all of Citizens’
debit and credit Mastercard products in the future, as the company
expands its product offerings and redesigns its existing product
suite.
