Amazon and Barclays have partnered to launch the Amazon Barclaycard, a co-branded credit card designed to offer customers a seamless shopping experience combined with attractive rewards.

Powered by Visa, the card ensures widespread acceptance and benefits from Visa’s robust fraud prevention measures, including the Zero Liability Policy.

John Boumphrey, Amazon UK Country Manager, expressed enthusiasm for the new card, emphasising its role in rewarding loyal customers for their spending.

“We’re excited to offer our customers even more value with the Amazon Barclaycard,” he said. “This card is designed to make shopping on Amazon and beyond even more rewarding.”

Steve Weston, Barclays’ Head of Everyday Money Management, highlighted the card’s appeal to Amazon shoppers while emphasising its strategic importance for Barclays.

“The Amazon Barclaycard is a fantastic addition to our credit card portfolio,” Weston said. “By partnering with Amazon, we’re able to offer our customers a compelling proposition that combines the convenience of Amazon shopping with the financial benefits of a Barclays credit card.”
