In today’s fast-moving, hyper-connected world, travellers expect more than just a bank card—they want a financial companion that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. That’s exactly what Yonder delivers with the launch of its new premium debit cards, designed for people who value flexibility, rewards, and travel-friendly perks without relying on credit. As part of this evolution, Yonder doesn’t just bring the perks of no foreign exchange fees and curated experiences—it also embraces the future with integrated eSIM data packs, making it easier than ever to stay connected on the go.

The rise of eSIM technology is reshaping how we travel and use mobile data. Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are embedded directly into devices, allowing users to activate data plans instantly, without visiting a store or swapping physical cards. From frequent flyers to remote workers, eSIMs are becoming a go-to solution for seamless international connectivity—and Yonder is smartly tapping into this shift by including virtual eSIMs directly within its mobile app experience.

This marks a major evolution in Yonder’s mission to reshape how people engage with financial products. Members can now choose between debit or credit, depending on what suits them best.

The new debit cards offer the same standout perks as Yonder’s credit card: points earning, zero foreign exchange fees, curated local rewards & travel-friendly benefits. Both cards work anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Two debit memberships are available:

• Yonder Free Debit – Earn 1 point per £1 spent, pay no FX fees, & access rewards in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, Bristol, plus national partners. No monthly fee.
• Yonder Full Debit – Earn 4 points per £1 spent, get full access to all Yonder Experiences, & enjoy worldwide travel insurance worth £275. £15/month or £160/year.

Points can be redeemed on curated rewards across dining, travel, wellness & entertainment. From BAO, Urban & Freddie’s Flowers to Qatar Airways, Booking.com & boutique hotels across the UK.

Since launching in 2022, Yonder members have spent more than £170 million, saving over £1.2 million in FX fees & redeeming £1.1 million in rewards. The new debit cards are designed for people who want to earn rewards without using credit, & for those who want to split their spending across debit & credit seamlessly.

Tim Chong, co-founder & CEO of Yonder, said:

“Credit cards can be a powerful tool—but they’re not for everyone. We’ve heard from thousands of people who love Yonder but prefer to spend on debit. So building this was a no-brainer. Now, you don’t need a credit card to earn great rewards, travel perks or fee-free spending abroad. Yonder is the everyday card for anyone who wants more out of their money, whether you’re booking a flight or grabbing a glass of wine.”

The new debit cards can be opened in minutes via the Yonder app. Members also get in-app support, spending insights, virtual eSIM data packs, & full Mastercard functionality. All Yonder members, debit or credit, get access to a growing rewards network spanning five UK cities, plus national perks & planned European expansion later in 2025.
