Marriott Bonvoy and Bank Mandiri, Indonesia’s largest state-owned bank, have launched the Marriott Bonvoy Mandiri Credit Card in Jakarta.
The co-branded card marks Marriott Bonvoy’s first co-branded credit card in South-east Asia and Bank Mandiri’s first collaboration with a global hospitality group.
The partnership aims to capture Indonesia’s rapidly growing travel segment and provide cardholders with enhanced convenience, comfort and value when travelling domestically and internationally.
Speaking at the launch, Ramesh Daryanani, vice president of Marriott International Global Sales, loyalty operations and partnerships, APEC (Asia Pacific excluding China), said: “This co-branded credit card is our first in South-east Asia. It also marks Marriott’s 35th credit card globally. We are privileged to partner with Bank Mandiri in launching this milestone and in sharing our ambition to unlock more rewarding travel experiences for Indonesians.”
“Indonesia is one of the most dynamic, and fastest growing travel markets in Asia-Pacific. And Marriott International is committed to its growth. With nearly 90 hotels currently operating across the country, and a further 30 planned by 2030, the Marriott Bonvoy Mandiri credit card will support Marriott’s focus on deepening engagement with our local consumers. This partnership connects Indonesia’s largest bank with its nationwide reach and digital leadership to Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 brands across 10,000 destinations worldwide.”
Henry Panjaitan, vice president director of Bank Mandiri, emphasised that the collaboration marked a strategic milestone in strengthening the bank’s integrated ecosystem-based financial solutions, while delivering tangible added value for customers by optimising daily transactions into global travel benefits.
“We welcome this co-branded credit card issuance through a synergistic partnership with Marriott Bonvoy, a global leader in the hospitality industry. This initiative reinforces the integration of Bank Mandiri’s ecosystem and accelerates the delivery of value-added financial solutions that enable customers to maximise their everyday transactions into a wide range of rewards, while supporting more efficient and measured expense management,” said Henry Panjaitan.
He added: “We recognise that the Travel and Tourism sector plays a strategic role as a driver of economic growth in Indonesia; therefore, this collaboration is part of Bank Mandiri’s commitment to meeting the financial needs of the community across various sectors.”
Ramesh Jackson, regional vice president, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International, said: “We’re always looking for meaningful ways to help our members travel better and experience more. Bank Mandiri’s scale and strong reputation makes it the perfect partner to connect us to more deeply with guests in Indonesia, delivering greater value and premium lifestyle solutions to customers.”
