PETRONAS MAYBANK and CIMB Credit Cards

To accommodate increased usage of credit cards at petrol stations, Petronas Dagangan Bhd has recently introduced co-branded credit cards with MAYBANK and CIMB BANK. The credit cards known as Petronas CIMB MasterCard and Petronas Maybankard Visa. The company’s chairman and Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) vice-president for oil business, Datuk Anuar Ahmad, said a quarter of last year’s transactions were via third-party credit cards. He also said last year the transactions grew about 12-15 per cent and this trend is expected to continue at PDB’s network of more than 870 service stations nationwide. With the introduction of the credit cards, users will be able to earn better reward points in the form of free petrol vouchers. The two credit cards are free for life, carry no annual fees, no joining fees and no minimum spending required. The cards can be used not only for purchase of PETROL but also at over thousands of outlets that accept VISA and MASTERCARD.
