The latest partnership builds on the companies’ existing relationship, which started in 2015. The earlier agreement enables Elo Global Cards to run on the Discover Global Network.

Discover executive vice president, president of payments services Diane Offereins said: “We continue to have a strong relationship with Elo that as a result benefits cardholders. This next evolution in our partnership will allow us to offer our Diners Club benefits to more people in the country.”
