Growth in potential customer base

Participating banks provide the Flexiroam Global Data Plan as a perk to Mastercard cardholders.

Mastercard rewards eligible cardholders with paid global roaming data packs that can be used in 200 plus countries and territories. Additionally, cardholders are eligible for a 15% discount on Flexiroam data plans when using a qualifying Mastercard.

Since the commencement of collaboration in June 2020, the program has grown to include 33 banks in Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and mainland China.

Flexiroam currently has exposure to about 1 million potential consumers, and as Mastercard spreads the program to banks around the world in 2022, this exposure is anticipated to grow quickly.

Strengthened profile across global markets

Commenting on the partnership expansion, Flexiroam Chief Executive Officer Marc Barnett highlighted that the company intends to make Fexiroam rewards available to any bank wanting to participate globally.

He added, “With this expanded agreement, the Flexiroam Mastercard offering will be rolled out to banks globally. The rollout will substantially increase our profile across global markets and comes at a time when demand for international travel is increasing, as restrictions are reduced.”
