Uber global head of business and corporate development David Richter said: “We are always looking for unique ways to surprise and delight our riders, which is the reason we built the Uber Visa Card.

“We partnered with Barclays to design a credit card that is not only custom-tailored to reward our customers’ everyday lifestyle, but is also fully integrated into the Uber app experience.”

Barclays head of US partnerships Denny Nealon added: “Through our partnership with Uber and Visa, we have created one of the most innovative and modern payment experiences in the market.

“The Uber Visa Card is one of the richest no annual fee card programs available in the U.S. Our deep integration into the Uber app enables us to provide the simple and seamless experience customers are looking for.”
