Thinking about applying for a Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard^® ? With a host of offers currently available to cardholders, there has never been a better time to become one.

What is the Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard? 

This credit card is ideal if you’re looking for a rewarding everyday spending card that gives you direct access to the world of Asia Miles. You can earn miles from your day-to-day spending, which will be directly credited to your Cathay membership account. 

With the Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard, it's never been easier to turn your dreams into reality, as the miles you earn can be used to redeem so much more than flights and hotels – they can also be used to redeem curated products and experiences from around the world. 

What’s on offer for new cardholders?
