Liv, the UAE’s first and largest digital bank by Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye (MENAT) region, has launched a Multicurrency Visa Card that lets customers pay globally with one card that automatically routes transactions to the most relevant currency account. The launch marks a global first of Visa Flex Credential with multi-currency capability for cross-border transactions.

The card allows customers to hold and spend in AED plus major global currencies including US dollars, British pounds, euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars all managed in real time within the Liv app.
