Openbank, Cinépolis and Mastercard Launch 100% Digital Co‑Branded Credit Card

The card ties Club Cinépolis rewards to a no‑annual‑fee mobile credit product to onboard young, underbanked Mexicans and push Cinépolis toward roughly 60% digital transactions.

Overview

  • The co‑branded “Cinépolis by Openbank” credit card, which will be available July 30, 2026, is issued entirely digitally with no annual fee and can be requested and managed through the Openbank mobile app.
  • Card benefits include up to 16% back in Club Cinépolis points on in‑cinema purchases, a weekly 2x1 ticket offer, 2% back on online purchases and 1% on physical store purchases.
  • Openbank is using the partnership to accelerate customer growth after passing one million users in Mexico and Cinépolis expects to reach about 50–60% digital transactions from roughly 40–45% today.
  • Mastercard will provide payment security and tokenization support as part of a broader push to reduce fraud and friction, with a tokenization roadmap that extends toward full coverage by 2030.
  • Key commercial terms remain undisclosed, including interest rates and approval criteria, so applicants should review the bank’s terms before applying while the product is positioned to serve many first‑time credit users and build formal credit histories.
