OCBC has extended its partnership with rewards technology company Ascenda, expanding customers' ability to transfer rewards currencies.
The bank’s card holders are now able to transfer their rewards currencies into 8 new major airline and hotel partner programmes via the bank's points exchange portal STACK.
The new proposition is now available to OCBC customers holding Travel$, Voyage Miles and OCBC$ rewards balances.
The announcement comes at a time when travel in APAC has nearly tripled over the past year. Air travel is reportedly up 193% year-on-year in April 2023, according to IATA’s monthly air passenger market analysis.
