The Visa prepaid card has added cashback features and will offer customers the opportunity to save money at 60 shops and restaurants with up to 15% cashback.
Anyone buying a new 12-month RAC UK Breakdown policy, RAC Car, Home or Motorbike insurance will be issued with the RAC Member Benefits card by Raphaels, pre-loaded with £20, £50 or £100 depending on how many products they have purchased.

By GlobalData"Through our partnership with Raphaels Bank and Grass Roots, we have created a unique loyalty programme for our members and new customers," said Alex Heath of RAC head of membership.
He added: "The prepaid card allows customers to add funds to their account and then use the RAC card like a debit card in partner stores. As they spend, they accumulate points, which could earn them as much as £500 cashback, over a year."
