The card provides special benefits for vehicle owners, offering reward points that can be transferred and redeemed through the Perodua P-Circle app. These reward points can be earned on various purchases, including fuel, electric vehicle charging, vehicle maintenance, and takaful protection. The card also boasts a zero percent overseas transaction fee and no annual fee for cardholders. Perodua's CEO, Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, noted that this marks the company's first partnership with a bank to issue credit cards. He also mentioned a special campaign to encourage customers to obtain the credit card through exclusive Perodua package offers. Bank Rakyat's CEO, Ahmad Shahril Mohd Shariff, emphasized that the strategic partnership reflects the bank's commitment to creating an ecosystem that offers customers comprehensive value and rewards. This initiative aligns with Bank Rakyat's \"Untuk Semua\" (For Everyone) aspiration, aiming to expand access to inclusive and relevant financial solutions for all segments of society.
