For the first time in Asia, Grab is unveiling its own numberless GrabPay Card. After Apple unveiled the Apple Card, Grab is the second company to venture into the numberless card.
For the GrabPay Card, Grab has revealed that it will be partnering with Mastercard. The reason is Mastercard is recognized and accepted worldwide comparing to Visa.

By having the GrabPay Card, you don’t really need to have a credit card or a bank account under your name. This GrabPay Mastercard will support over 53 millions merchants worldwide.
What are the GrabPay Card features?

As we said previously, it’s numberless. But what is the benefit of having a numberless card? It’s very simple logic, what can’t be seen, can’t be stolen. Now you should have some idea. When the card is numberless, its hard for hackers to hack it and people can’t use it only if it’s you then you can use it. That’s the same concept Apple brought up when it unveiled the Apple Card. So, you can say this type of card is very much secure.
Besides that, it even has additional securities such as in-app lock where you can protect the view of the card from the app by having a PIN code. In case your GrabPay Card is stolen, you can immediately suspend it. We are guessing moving forward, the other bank’s credit cards are going to be numberless too. There is an additional layer of protection for you when you use the card online.
Who doesn’t wants free rewards? By just using the GrabPay Card, you can earn GrabPay reward points when you use the Grab services. Apart from that, you can even earn the GrabPay reward points by using at any of the Mastercard merchants worldwide too. However, Grab is running a promotion where Grab will be offering you 10X GrabRewards points for each dollar you spent on your both services and purchases.

Some of the additional features you can get from the GrabPay Card is mobile protection insurance, e-commerce protection and flight delay passes. For the mobile protection, you might need to pay your phone bill using the GrabPay Card first and then you will be eligible for the mobile protection insurance.
