Mumbai: Mastercard, in partnership with City Union Bank (CUB), has launched a new range of cricket-themed credit cards in India. These passion-driven cards aim to connect with fans by offering exclusive experiences related to the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The new collection features four credit cards: CUB CSK Mastercard Platinum, CUB CSK World Mastercard, CUB SRH Mastercard Platinum, and CUB SRH World Mastercard. These are themed around two popular IPL teams—Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

Cardholders will get unique opportunities like meeting players, attending team practice sessions, and accessing official team merchandise. These perks are designed to deepen fans' engagement with their favorite teams.

Apart from cricket-related benefits, the cards offer several lifestyle and travel rewards. These include free access to both domestic and international airport lounges, a 1% fuel surcharge waiver, and insurance coverage for travel and personal accidents.

As a welcome gift, customers will receive gift packs, discount vouchers, and a special CUB keychain debit card featuring tap-and-go payment technology.

Cardholders can also access exclusive offers on the CUB website and enjoy added benefits on loan products from the bank. Dining and travel experiences are enhanced through Mastercard’s premium programs. These include up to 30% discounts at select restaurants through the Mastercard Culinary Club, and a free main course under the One Dines Free program.
