Ukrainian esports powerhouse Natus Vincere (NAVI) has entered the financial arena with an exciting new payment card venture. Partnering with Visa and PrivatBank, NAVI introduces a branded card that promises to enhance the shopping experience with cashback and other benefits. This launch marks a significant step in integrating the gaming and financial worlds.
NAVI Introduces Innovative Payment Card
The new NAVI card offers exclusive perks such as a 15% cashback, promo codes for gaming and streaming services, and up to a 30% discount on the NAVI shop for the first 1,000 purchases. Users must possess a Universal Visa or Universal Gold card from PrivatBank and download the bank’s official app to access these benefits and activate their card’s stylish design.
NAVI’s partnership with Visa initially kicked off in 2024 with the creation of the NAVI Visa Academy, showcasing the potential of esports and financial collaborations. This latest card launch extends this partnership, as financial institutions continue to carve a niche in the esports landscape.
Expanding the Esports-Financial Partnership
While other esports teams like Team Vitality, Astralis, and 100 Thieves have previously launched similar initiatives, NAVI distinguishes itself by offering cashback services. NAVI’s COO Oleksii ‘XAOC’ Kucherov emphasized the team’s dedication to delivering a unique gaming card experience in Ukraine, crafted by gamers for gamers.
The card’s rollout is supported by other prominent partners, including Napster, Red Bull, Logitech G, and GG.BET, further solidifying NAVI’s position in both the esports and financial sectors. Kucherov highlighted the collaborative effort with Visa and PrivatBank to offer fans more than just excitement but tangible rewards and personalization. This initiative marks the start of a promising journey for NAVI in bringing financial innovation to esports.
