Proton & Affin Bank Launch New ‘Affin Avance Proton’ Credit Card

National automaker Proton has partnered with local financial institution Affin Bank to launch its first-ever affiliated credit card, cordially known as the ‘Affin Avance Proton’ credit card. This affiliated credit card is targeted to Proton owners, where they can reap and enjoy plenty of benefits offered.

Launched at Menara Affin in Kuala Lumpur today, this new affiliated credit card will grant owners with plenty of benefits like 0% Easy Instalment Plan for up to 24 months, as well as 0% of interest and profit rate for purchase at any Proton outlets in the nation, including servicing.

Aside from that, customers are also entitled to three times Affin Rewards points when using the card for dining, online shopping, and any transactions made at Proton outlets. Using this card at any other outlets will also entitle them with one Affin Rewards point. On top of that, customers won’t even have to pay for annual fees as they are being waived for as long as the card is still valid, while overdraft or cash line application can be made hassle-free using this card.
