Standard Chartered Bank has announced a partnership with Karen Golf club to offer a monthly round of golf for all the bank’s Visa Infinite credit cardholders. Clients will not need to be a member of the Karen Country Club for them to access the facility.

The monthly round of golf offers Standard Chartered customers and those that wish to join Standard Chartered an opportunity to get out on the greens and enjoy all the benefits that come with a good round of golf.

The complimentary round of golf is available for all members and non-members for the next year.

Paul Njoki, Head of Wealth Management at Standard Chartered Kenya and EA said: “People are becoming more aware and connected when it comes to their health and finances. Sports are becoming a part and parcel of living an active lifestyle. Standard Chartered Bank is committed to providing solutions that are relevant and take care of the key milestones and transitions in an individual’s life cycle beyond their financial needs. One of our pillars in Priority Banking is ‘Rewards’; and we ensure that the rewards are exclusive. Through this partnership, all Standard Chartered Visa Infinite credit cardholders can now access a monthly round of golf at Karen Country Club. The facility is available for all members and non-members for free for the next one year”.

“To be able to provide a one-stop-shop for the everchanging needs of our clients, our clients must be at the center of our decision process. We must understand their needs, lifestyle and create the right solutions through partnerships with strong brands like Visa and Karen Golf Club,” added Mr. Njoki.

Speaking during the launch, Allan Wainaina, Chairman Karen Country Club said, “We are delighted to finally announce this partnership with Standard Chartered Bank and Visa. Covid-19 had indeed disrupted sports activities including Golf. We are now seeing more members coming back to the course to enjoy the green and fresh air. We are looking forward to hosting Standard Chartered clients to the best golf experience at our award-winning Golf Course. Hopefully, once they have had a taste of what we have to offer, the non-members will want to join our club.”

It is through trusted partnerships such as Standard Chartered that we can offer innovative products that cater for different market segments, and I urge more Standard Chartered Bank customers to take advantage of similar offerings”.
