The most advanced VPN — for Mastercard cardholders
The partnership between NordVPN and Mastercard brings a new addition to the payment industry giant’s perk suite. Depending on the specific bank or Mastercard issuer, cardholders will now be able to redeem a NordVPN subscription in the same way they currently enjoy access to airport lounges, fast-track services, and additional lifestyle benefits in Mastercard’s perks list.
Under this collaboration, banks and issuers in selected countries now include NordVPN Basic and NordVPN Standard plans in their payment card plans. These additions allow Mastercard to offer extra value to its customers and enhance the overall attractiveness of their premium card offerings. For NordVPN, this partnership opens up opportunities to continue spreading its mission for a safer internet into the payments and finance sector, one of the most heavily targeted industries globally by cybercriminals.
Why is Mastercard partnering with NordVPN?
NordVPN’s addition to Mastercard’s benefits lineup is great news for the payment company’s customers, because it adds a high-demand digital security service to an already vast perk list. As for Mastercard, this collaboration is a welcome way to attract new customers and better retain existing ones. This partnership also differentiates the company from its competitors by combining lifestyle and security benefits in a single card package.
This partnership also shows a broader shift in the financial sector, suggesting that banks and fintech companies are expanding customer benefits beyond traditional financial services. As people spend more time online and face risks such as scams, phishing attempts, and malicious websites, online security is becoming an increasingly important part of the customer experience. In this scenario, NordVPN acts as a trusted security companion, supporting Mastercard cardholders as they browse, shop, and manage their finances online.
How to redeem Mastercard’s NordVPN subscription perk
Eligible cardholders can redeem their NordVPN subscription by verifying their eligibility via https://nordvpn.com/partners/mastercard/. Before doing that, though, we recommend making sure that your Mastercard card plan includes the NordVPN benefits (you can do that by contacting the bank or issuer of your Mastercard card via phone or online). Once you redeem the NordVPN subscription, the service will ask you to set up your Nord Account and download the NordVPN app for safer browsing.
