ila Bank to give ten travelers up to BHD5,000 cashback on their ‘ila Credit Card’ foreign spends

Manama, Bahrain: ila Bank, the fastest growing digital mobile-only bank in Bahrain powered by Bank ABC, launches a ‘Credit Card Around the World’ Travel Spend campaign. Commenced on 16th June and closing 31st August 2022, the campaign will enable 10 ila customers to win back their full international travel spend, up to BHD 5,000 each. This comes as part of the Bank’s endeavor to offer unmatched credit card rewards and benefits catered to enrich users’ lifestyles.

The campaign is open to ila credit card users that spend an accumulated amount of BHD 500 (or its equivalent in any currency) while travelling abroad, where every BHD 1 spent will be considered as 1 draw entry. All ila ‘Blue’ and ‘Switch’ credit cards, including supplementary cards, POS transactions and ATM cash withdrawals will be taken into consideration for the draw, while e-transactions will be excluded.

The draw will take place on 22nd September 2022 at ila Bank’s offices, in the presence of an MOIC representative, ila Bank executives and internal auditors. Ten lucky winners will be randomly selected, using an automated software. The full prize amount (up to BHD 5,000 each) will be credited into the winners’ credit cards, provided it is active during the raffle draw. ila Bank and Bank ABC employees are not eligible for entry. Further Terms & Conditions apply and have been emailed to all ila customers.


Commenting on the Campaign, Nada Tarada, Head of Business & Customer at ila Bank said: “"ila has always had the customer at heart, and our banking services are built around our users and their needs. Likewise, our campaigns are designed to complement today’s customers’ lifestyles, making banking with ila a delight. We look forward to introducing many such themed campaigns in the future as we consistently listen to, understand, and co-create with our customers.”

Throughout the campaign period, ila customers are encouraged to post photos using their credit cards abroad with the hashtag #ila_CreditCard_Around_TheWorld. The posts will be shared on the Bank’s official social media accounts, offering customers a moment of fame and building excitement as the draw date approaches.


ila’s ‘Travel Spend’ credit card campaign follows a ‘Domestic Spend’ campaign during the month of May, which enabled 3 customers to win a BHD 1,000 Travel Voucher, demonstrating the Bank’s ongoing commitment to deliver – ‘banking that reflects you.’
