Westpac has unveiled the first Airpoints earning debit card in New Zealand, dubbed Westpac Airpoints Debit MasterCard.
The new card functions like an EFTPOS card, to draw funds directly from a customer’s transaction account.
The Westpac Airpoints Debit MasterCard enables cardholders to earn one Airpoints Dollar for every NZD250 spent on the card.
It also offers cardholders a free Westpac PayTag, a contactless payment sticker that enables customers to pay for items under NZD80.
Customers will require an eligible personal transaction account with a minimum of NZD500 in total deposited per month in order to receive Airpoints Dollars with the new card.
