Etihad Airways and Wio Bank PJSC Team up to Reward Guests

Wio Bank PJSC and Etihad Guest, the loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, have announced a new partnership introducing a first-of-its-kind offering that allows Wio Personal customers to earn Etihad Guest Miles for every AED deposited into their Saving Spaces.

This innovative programme refines traditional banking rewards, as it is the first time a bank has offered miles without linking them to a payment card. The partnership underlines Wio’s commitment to enhancing customer banking experience through innovative offerings and solutions, including rewards that combine saving money with real-life benefits.

Under the programme, for every 1 AED deposited in a 12-month fixed Saving Space, customers earn 1 Etihad Guest Mile. This one-to-one ratio offers unprecedented value in the banking and travel sectors. Moreover, customers can stay miles ahead on their savings, as the miles are credited to their Etihad Guest account within days of opening the fixed deposit. This benefit allows for immediate travel planning, a feature unmatched in the current market.

The programme also encourages customers to save, with the opportunity to earn up to 10 million Etihad Guest Miles. With Etihad Guest reward flights starting from just 5,000 Etihad Guest Miles, new account holders can quickly earn flights to amazing destinations, for example a return Business class flight to London or Tokyo for just 140,000 Miles or a return Economy class flight to the Maldives or Istanbul for 30,000 Miles or Athens for 40,000 Miles.

The Etihad Guest programme offers its members a customised experience, with the ability to earn Miles through flying, or spending with local partners. Etihad Guest members can choose to redeem their rewards for flights and holidays or spend in the Etihad Guest Reward shop and across a wide range of retail partners. The new partnership with Wio Bank continues to accelerate the potential for earning miles and brings travel aspirations closer to reality for Etihad Guest members.

The partnership with Etihad Airways reflects Wio Bank’s broader strategy of leveraging strategic partnerships to innovate and expand its offerings. By collaborating with leading organizations, Wio aims to provide unique and valuable benefits to its customers, reinforcing its position as a forward-thinking financial institution.

Wio Bank was established to redefine banking in the UAE for both businesses and consumers. Its second digital offering, Wio Personal, is a day-to-day banking platform that changes how individuals see, manage, and grow their money. It provides users with unprecedented financial visibility and flexibility, serving as a foundation for achieving personal financial goals with an engaging experience that includes smart cards and exciting rewards.
