(TAN): Accor, a leading hospitality group, and Visa, one of the global leaders in digital payments, announced a global partnership to bring new payment experiences to ALL-Accor Live Limitless loyalty members.
The partnership will bring together Accor’s loyalty programme and Visa’s global payment capabilities to create the new ALL Visa card. Members who apply for the new Visa card will be able to use it for everyday purchases everywhere Visa is accepted. Accor will be collaborating with Visa partner financial institutions and banks in key markets across Europe, North and South America, Middle East and Asia Pacific to issue the new ALL Visa card. It will offer members tailored rewards based on customer preferences and the ability to earn more loyalty points when staying at an Accor property or when making purchases.

The development of ALL is a major milestone for us, and in Visa we are very pleased to have found a partner which shares our passion for delivering everyday rewards and recognition.”
Through the partnership with Visa, Accor is enhancing the benefits of its recently launched loyalty programme, ALL–Accor Live Limitless, to its 64M loyal member base and more than 250M customers globally.
