Pros and cons

Pros

  • Annual fee of BHD 0 on the talabat credit card and a monthly fee of BHD 0 on the prepaid card.
  • Rewards are cashback, with the heaviest rebates on talabat orders and a small rate on other spending.
  • Balance transfers come with 6 months of interest free credit for clearing older card debt.
  • Help runs through phone, email and help centre and the card offers support around the clock.

Cons

  • Cashback is heaviest on talabat orders, and spending elsewhere earns a much smaller rate.
  • Interest free balance transfers last 6 months, so the old balance has to clear inside that window.
  • Live chat is not among its support channels, which run phone, email and help centre across phone, email and the help centre.

Who it suits

  • People in Bahrain who order regularly on talabat and want fee free cashback on those food and grocery orders.
  • Students and business owners, the audiences listed in business and student, who want a card that costs nothing to hold.
  • Card holders clearing an older balance who can repay the transferred amount inside the interest free transfer window.

Who should look elsewhere

  • bunq, whose card also has an annual fee of €0 and suits customers banking in another currency.
  • Varo Believe Secured Credit Card, which charges an annual fee of $0 and builds credit through a secured card instead of merchant rewards.
  • Wise, whose card has an annual fee of £0 and is a better fit for spenders who do not order on talabat.

The company behind it

The issuer is CrediMax B.S.C., based in Bahrain and founded in 1999. It runs a card issuing business in that home market, with a credit card and a prepaid card in the range. Support is handled on phone, email and help centre, so help comes by phone, by email and in the help centre rather than in branch.

Frequently asked questions

What does the talabat credit card cost to hold?+

The annual fee is BHD 0. The card is a credit card, and Airport lounge access worldwide via MasterCard Travel Pass, Up to 25% off travel bookings via trip.com, IHG Hotels and Ole Sereni Hotels and Up to 20% off car rentals at select partners lists a monthly flexible payment plan plus a grace period that starts from the statement date. Cashback, rather than points, is what you earn on what you spend.

Who regulates CrediMax, and where is it based?+

The regulator on record is the Central Bank of Bahrain. The issuer is CrediMax B.S.C., based in Bahrain and founded in 1999. Its range covers a credit card and a prepaid card, and support questions are handled on phone, email and help centre.

How much cashback can I earn?+

The reward type is cashback. The published rate is heavy on talabat orders and drops to a small share of that on other spends. Airport lounge access worldwide via MasterCard Travel Pass, Up to 25% off travel bookings via trip.com, IHG Hotels and Ole Sereni Hotels and Up to 20% off car rentals at select partners also lists a free talabat Pro subscription and free food and grocery deliveries on the card.

Can I move an old card balance onto it?+

Yes, balance transfers come with 6 months of interest free credit on the balance moved across. That period is the whole saving, so the transferred amount needs clearing inside the window before interest applies.

Is there a fee on the prepaid card?+

The monthly fee is BHD 0. The prepaid card runs on visa, and the multi currency version covers 33 currencies, which is where the travel use comes from. The credit card is a separate credit card with its own annual fee of BHD 0.

Who is this card aimed at?+

The brand lists business and student as its audiences, so the card is built around student and business spending as much as household use. The rewards lean hardest on talabat orders, and the annual fee of BHD 0 keeps the cost of holding it low.

What extra benefits come with the credit card?+

Airport lounge access worldwide via MasterCard Travel Pass, Up to 25% off travel bookings via trip.com, IHG Hotels and Ole Sereni Hotels and Up to 20% off car rentals at select partners covers airport lounge access through the MasterCard Travel Pass, discounts on travel bookings and car rentals, purchase protection against theft or damage, and an annual raffle entry for cars and cash. Help on the card runs around the clock.
