UnionBank and Mercury Drug launched the new UnionBank Mercury Credit Card – a one-of-a-kind credit card designed to reward consumers for prioritizing their health and wellness.
The card was unveiled at an exclusive event last October 18, 2024, at Grand Hyatt Hotel. Guests were treated to a slew of activities like indoor cycling and yoga classes, as well as an
ON runway show, which featured Swiss-engineered performance running shoes and apparel. With the new UnionBank Mercury Credit Card, users are not only encouraged to stay on top of their health, but also to be rewarded for it.
Manoj Varma, Consumer Banking Head of UnionBank of the Philippines, described the card as a groundbreaking financial product that stands out in the market. “This isn’t just another rewards card. The UnionBank Mercury Card is designed to meet the growing demand for wellness-oriented financial tools, and it does so with unparalleled value”.
The new UnionBank Mercury Credit Card was completely reimagined to cater to a new generation of health- conscious consumers. The new modern design, featuring the iconic “Mercury Man,” makes it not only visually appealing but symbolic of Mercury Drug’s decades-long commitment to promoting health and well-being.
Vivian Azcona, President of Mercury Drug, shared her excitement about the partnership, noting that this card is more than a financial tool — it’s a symbol of Mercury Drug’s commitment to helping Filipinos lead healthier lives. “The UnionBank Mercury Card is designed to empower our customers to make healthier choices while being rewarded for it. It truly aligns with Mercury Drug’s vision of promoting health and wellness for all Filipinos,” she said.
The UnionBank Mercury Credit Card is the country’s first card dedicated to rewarding health and wellness and comes with these best-in-class benefits:
5X Rewards Points: A Market-First for Health and Wellness Spend. What sets the UnionBank Mercury Credit Card apart from any other card in the market is its unprecedented 5X rewards points on all health and wellness- related purchases — a benefit no other card currently offers. Whether consumers are buying medicines, vitamins, supplements, fitness gear, or paying for gym memberships and medical services, the card rewards their dedication to a healthy lifestyle by maximizing every peso spent in these categories.
No Annual Fees and Essential Health Perks. In addition to the points, the card offers no annual fees for life. Plus, cardholders will enjoy free annual physical exams and ambulance services every year.
The launch of this card marks a new chapter in the evolving partnership between UnionBank and Mercury Drug, underscoring their shared commitment to enhancing the lives of Filipinos through innovative financial solutions that support health and wellness goals.
