Al Salam Bank Enhances its Multi-Currency Debit Card with New International Currencies

Following the success of its Limited Edition Lamine Yamal Visa Multi-Currency Debit Card, Al Salam Bank has announced the expansion of its multi-currency debit card offering through the introduction of new additional international currencies, further strengthening its card solutions and providing clients with greater flexibility for international travel, overseas spending, and online transactions.

Central to this enhancement is the Bank’s Limited Edition Lamine Yamal Visa Multi-currency debit card, alongside its standard multi-currency debit card, enabling both existing and new cardholders to benefit from expanded international payment capabilities through a single integrated banking solution.

With this latest expansion, the multi-currency debit card now supports the addition of SAR, OMR, QAR, and INR, alongside the currencies already available including BHD, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, and TRY. Existing cardholders will automatically gain access to the newly added currencies, while new clients will benefit from full access upon card issuance.

Designed to support seamless international spending, the card enables clients to link multiple foreign currency accounts to a single card, allowing transactions to be automatically processed from the matching currency account whenever payments are made in supported currencies. Cardholders also benefit from the elimination of foreign exchange markup fees on eligible international and online transactions, instant issuance through the Bank’s digital channels, and a range of travel-related benefits that further enhance convenience and overall client experience.

Commenting on the announcement, Mohammed Buhijji, Chief Retail Banking Officer, Al Salam Bank, said: “Building on the positive response to the Limited Edition Lamine Yamal Visa Multi-Currency Debit Card, we continue to enhance our card solutions to provide clients with greater flexibility, convenience, and everyday value. The expansion of supported currencies reflects our continued focus on developing innovative payment solutions that simplify international spending while supporting the growing travel and lifestyle needs of our clients through a seamless digital banking experience.”

In addition to expanded currency access, clients using the multi-currency debit card continue to benefit from a range of value-added features including simplified digital management through the Al Salam Bank mobile application, seamless international transactions, and access to exclusive seasonal card campaign rewards linked to card usage.

This latest enhancement reinforces Al Salam Bank’s continued investment in innovative payment solutions designed to support evolving client lifestyles, strengthen its cards proposition, and advance the Bank’s broader strategy of delivering seamless and digitally enabled everyday banking experiences.
