Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, CIBC First Caribbean Bank has launched a new credit card with “benefits complemented by luxurious lifestyles”.
The CIBC First Caribbean Mastercard Black Credit Card was introduced last Wednesday evening with promises of exclusivity and convenience of increased spending power.
“This is not just an ordinary credit card. This is the…ultimate card with all the bells and whistles, CIBC’s Managing Director Nigel Holness told a gathering of select customers, staff and media.
Benefits of the new credit card include four free airport lounge visits annually; access to more than one million hotspots globally; purchase protection with delivery coverage; trip delay luggage protection and travel insurance; points earned on spending which may be redeemed for airline tickets, hotel accommodation and online purchases.

The CIBC managing director traced the history of credit cards back to the 1940s, noting that constant improvements have made them more secure and desirable than cash.
“As we are all aware, prior to plastic money as a means of exchange for goods and services was cumbersome, if not downright dangerous in today’s environment”, Holness said.
