“We are pleased to join hands with Uber and Dubai First to make travel more convenient for consumers in the UAE. Uber is already a popular choice for many UAE residents, and now Dubai First MasterCard cardholders will benefit every time they use the service. This is just another way electronic payments and the power of innovation make everyday tasks simpler, more efficient and more convenient,” said Raghu Malhotra, President, Middle East and Africa, MasterCard.

“We put the consumer at the heart of everything we do and are totally focused on efficiency and convenience. We are always looking for ways to bring more benefits to our riders when they need it the most and this partnership with MasterCard is a fantastic way to do this. We know that the airport is among the top pick-up and drop-off locations for Uber riders and now they can enjoy many rewards while using our services, thanks to MasterCard,” said Christopher Free, General Manager for UAE & Qatar, Uber.

“We at Dubai First strongly believe that it is critical to offer convenient and innovative payment solutions for our card members and are delighted to partner with MasterCard and Uber on this exclusive offer.
