OCBC, Ascenda to offer more transfer options for rewards currencies

It is now available to OCBC customers holding Travel$, Voyage Miles and OCBC$ rewards balances.

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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
