Who and what is covered?
As Republic Bank International Visa Gold Credit Card cardholder with this benefit, you, your spouse, and your dependent children under 23 years of age, will each be insured automatically up to US$250,000 against accidental bodily injuries that are the sole cause of death or dismemberment arising from an accident that occurs during an Insured Journey. A trip is considered an Insured Journey if (a) the full travel fare has been purchased with a valid International Visa Card; (b) it is outside your country of residence; and (c) the maximum duration of any one trip is no more than 60 days.

The coverage of an Insured Journey begins when you disembark from the common carrier at the destination of your Insured Journey (as designated on your ticket) and ends when you board the common carrier for departure (as designated on the return portion of your ticket).

This insurance does not provide common carrier coverage during travel to and from an Insured Journey. This coverage is meant to complement and not duplicate the CommonCarrier coverage on your International VISA Card

What do I need to be eligible?
You must possess a valid and active Republic Bank International Visa Gold Credit Card and use it to purchase the entire travel fare(s).

The new Contactless feature allows you to conduct purchases BBD$100 and under, with your credit card, without having to give it to anyone to complete your transaction.

Our Republic International VISA Gold Card has already been enabled with this new feature and will be available to new customers, as well as existing cardholders upon renewal or replacement of their credit card.

With contactless transactions:
  • Your card never leaves your hand.
  • You don't need to touch the point-of-sale terminal.
