MasterCard International has unveiled its newest debit card, which features the likeness of Grammy-winning musician Usher. While it can be used for purchasing like any other debit card, the Usher Debit MasterCard also provides exclusive access to “The World of Usher” for merchandise discounts and concert tickets.
“With the Usher Raymond IV Debit MasterCard, Usher’s fans have a great way to connect with their favorite entertainer and business entrepreneur, all while enjoying the payment flexibility enabled by a MasterCard card,” said Bill Mathis, senior VP, Member Relations, MasterCard International, in a statement released last week. “Cardholders gain access to financial benefits others might take for granted, such as simplified money handling, budget tracking, bill payment and everyday purchasing power.”
MasterCard says it hopes the card will bring Usher fans into the “financial mainstream.” They can call 1-888-USHERMC or log on to www.ushermc.com to register for the card.
“This past year has been a year of real growth and change for me, so I felt that this was the perfect time for me to step it up in the business world,” Usher said last week. “As an entertainer, I make music for everyone, and I wanted the same mindset to apply to all my business ventures. That’s why I’m so excited to work with MasterCard to launch the Usher Raymond IV Debit MasterCard which will financially empower people.”
