Credit card rewards are commonplace for cardholders but often aren't accessible with debit cards, which is something the Point Card is intended to help change. The debit card aims to offer the best of both worlds by enabling cardholders to enjoy the debt-free aspects of debit with the perks of credit cards. Users can enjoy unlimited cash-back on every purchase they make as well as access to a range of bonus points offers when they purchase from specific brands.
The Point Card works with the Point app to help elevate the user experience and also provides access to concierge-level service. Users will be issued a physical card, but can also enjoy the benefits of a virtual one to make payments online or in a contactless manner using only their smartphone.
