SINGAPORE, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, rewards technology leader Ascenda announced the expansion of its partnership with OCBC, Singapore's longest-established bank and second-largest financial group in Southeast Asia by assets. The comprehensive premium rewards proposition sets out to enhance OCBC's credit card offerings, underpinning a drive to boost acquisition and engagement amongst high-value customers.

Building on the thriving success of the Travel with OCBC platform - which provides OCBC cardmembers a hassle-free digital experience to book flights, hotel stays, and car rentals using OCBC's reward currencies - Ascenda is now enabling the bank to elevate its aspirational rewards offering and introduce valuable new redemption options.

Effective immediately, customers are able to transfer their rewards currencies into 8 new major airline and hotel partner programmes via the bank's points exchange portal STACK [https://www.stackreward.com/ ]. The milestone comes at an exciting point in time when travel in Asia Pacific is growing faster than any other region globally, with April 2023 air travel activity up 193% year-on-year, according to IATA's monthly Air Passenger Market Analysis.

Madeline O'Connor, SVP Strategic Clients at Ascenda, explained: "We're thrilled to grow our relationship with OCBC, one of Singapore's leading banks, to bring world-class rewards to market and unlock customer engagement. This transformational launch comes at a very opportune time when consumer appetite for outbound travel is exploding in the Singapore market."

Gary Wong, Head, Digital Payments & Ecosystems at OCBC, added: "Our rewards propositions play a pivotal role in attracting, engaging and retaining high-spending customers for the Bank. With the expanded access to Ascenda's larger global network, our customers get more choices, greater value and a better digital rewards experience."

The new proposition powered by Ascenda is now available to OCBC customers holding Travel$, Voyage Miles and OCBC$ rewards balances.
