NBC Tanzania has teamed up with Visa to roll out the NBC Visa Business Platinum Debit Card, introducing the country’s first premium debit card tailored for businesses.
Designed for business clients, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the card offers enhanced payment capabilities and access to premium services that were previously unavailable in Tanzania’s business banking sector.
The NBC Visa Business Platinum Debit Card allows users to conduct both local and international transactions, supporting in-store and online payments. It also features advanced security technology, enabling businesses to transact with greater confidence while efficiently managing daily expenses.
Additionally, the card helps businesses separate personal and business finances, track spending with ease, and receive real-time transaction alerts. Cardholders can also enjoy select Visa premium benefits, including travel-related protections and savings on services such as accommodation and business travel, as part of Visa’s global privileges programme.
Commenting on the launch, Theobald Sabi, Managing Director of NBC Bank Tanzania, reaffirmed the bank’s vision for business growth, stating, “The launch of the NBC Visa Business Platinum Debit Card reflects our continued focus on empowering Tanzanian businesses with solutions that match the pace and demands of today’s economy. At NBC Bank, our customers remain at the Centre of everything we do. As Tanzania’s longest-serving bank, we combine deep local insight with strong international partnerships like Visa Inc to deliver solutions that are tailored to business needs. This card is designed to give businesses greater flexibility and confidence to transact seamlessly within and beyond Tanzania, enabling them to grow and contribute meaningfully to the country’s economic development”.
Chad Pollock, General Manager and Vice-President, Visa East Africa, added, “Visa is pleased to partner with NBC to introduce the NBC Visa Business Platinum Debit Card in Tanzania. The card provides local businesses with secure, convenient, and globally accepted payment capabilities, while giving them access to benefits designed to support business travel and financial management.”
The introduction of the NBC Visa Business Platinum Debit Card marks a major milestone in Tanzania’s banking sector, as the first premium debit card designed specifically for business clients. The move aligns with NBC Tanzania’s broader strategy to deliver innovative financial solutions and promote digital payment adoption among businesses nationwide.
