Good afternoon Gens Bloggers,

I hope I find you well. There are a lot of women here on Gens Blog so I thought I would take this opportunity to let you know about the new credit card that Standard Bank have launched that is designed for women.

Now when you hear of this for the first time, you are probably just thinking that it is just one of those many new credit cards that are released and the fact that it is for women, it will be all pink and pretty but still have the same old benefits and fees of any other credit card. But not the MyCard from Standard Bank.

Standard back looked at the MyCard from the angle that South African women make the majority of buying decisions and have better financial records than most men. MyCard has been designed and conceived especially for women, taking into account the unique financial needs of this market as well as the financial status that women currently enjoy in South African society.

Am I wrong in saying that we as women make most financial decisions in the household? Be it going to buy the groceries, purchasing a new home, new furniture or simply just deciding where we should go for the weekend. Thus now Standard Bank have taken all of this into account and come up with a credit card for us.

The MyCard has a cash back system known as MyGift. MyGift has completely reformed market standards to allow for maximum choice. While other reward schemes either limit the shops from which you get rewards or the shops in which you can spend your rewards, with the new Standard Bank MyCard you receive cash back on all your purchases as a cash payout on a gift card so you are free to spend the money however, and wherever, you like. Now that is something new!

MyCard comes with a host of benefits over and above the ability to make payments worldwide and the cash back rewards offered by other cards. Medical cover is expanded to include a disability benefit,
women specific disease cover, 20% discount on regular doctors’ visits and a 24-hour emergency advice line. Roadside assistance is also available 24 hours to assist with breakdown, flat batteries and even running out of fuel. A handyman service is available for all those small household tasks like hanging the plasma and clearing the drains.

So if you would like to find out more about MyCard simply click here and you will be taken to the Standard bank website.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this and learn more about MyCard.
