LONDON—U.K.-based fintech Curve has announced a new partnership with Discover.
Curve customers will be able to add their Discover Global Network cards, including the Diners Club International Card, to the Curve app, allowing access to all the regular card privileges and rewards, as well as Curve loyalty and cashback, Apple Pay, and Google Pay benefits on top, Crowdfund Insider noted.
Curve Rewards can provide customers in the U.K. up to 20% cash back with selected retailers and brands – along with other product features such as “Anti-embarrassment Mode” and “Go Back in Time,” which avoid card declines by adding a stored back-up card or allowing payments to be switched to another card up to 90 days later.
“We are excited to partner with Discover so their members can now use the Curve app,” said Curve Founder and CEO Shachar Bialick. “As a Big Four credit card network and issuer, the opportunities to capitalize on our mutual goals are endless. Emerging technologies and evolving customer expectations continue to drive the market and healthy competition and innovation can only be a force for good.”
Discover Global Network reports it has more than 50-million merchant acceptance locations and two million ATM and cash access locations around the world.
Curve said the arrangement will initially focus on the European markets of Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, and Belgium.
