Standard Chartered Bank has announced a partnership with Marhaba Bahrain after signing a deal that offers all Standard Chartered Platinum card holders free access to Marhaba lounges at Bahrain International Airport.

Standard Chartered Bahrain head of retail banking Sandeep Bose and Marhaba Bahrain operations manager Fathi Alsaeed signed the agreement in the presence of officials from both organisations at the bank's Bahrain headquarters, said a report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.

Bose said the agreement with Marhaba enabled the bank to meet another critical need of its customers.

"We aim to continuously offer great value propositions on our credit cards including exclusive offers and rewards," he said.

Alsaeed said since launching in Bahrain two years ago, Marhaba has been working hard to maintain quality customer service the world had come to expect.

"We now maintain three lounges at Bahrain International Airport, with a number of other services that combine local flavour with international standards.

"Our partnership with Standard Chartered is testament to how the Marhaba name has established itself in the premium services category," he said. - TradeArabia News Service
