Holder of the card will be eligible to receive extensive collection of discounts and offers normally enjoyed by Commercial Bank Debit Card holders. In addition to the benefits they are entitled to under the Ransalu program.

However, the JAAF membership targeted Commercial Bank – MasterCard issued ‘Ransalu Privilege Card’ will be available free of charge to any member of the JAAF operated Ransalu Loyalty Program who has, or opens an account with Commercial Bank.
