I guess with the erosion of earn in both SP and APD from the existing providers it could be worth a look at . . . .

Looking at their site seems to be MasterCard.
So guess the current AirNZ branded card from Kiwibank is moving to Humm. Just a provider to offer rebranded cards.
What would be interesting if they bundle a UATP number for travel booking to skip merchant fees.

I wonder what it means for the future of OneSmart considering the effort they went through to change platforms last year after Travelex went bust. Merge the two?

Looking at the Humm site do get the vibe they are the type of org who would work in multiple currency & do FX within their platform

If only - or atleast wave the credit card booking fees for there own branded cards. Overseas if an common benefit with airline branded cards, that you don't get fees with that airline when booking.

Though UATP would be nice as could direct other airlines & hotels through that. Nice way to make sure getting spending habits on other airlines for each person.

IIRC, it was roughly a decade ago when Kiwibank signed on to Airpoints so I think you are right that Kiwibank might have chosen not to renew the contract. Curious to see what Kiwibank would do being left with no reward credit card after this. I am also surprised to see the likes of BNZ and ASB chose to not be affiliated with any FFP so I guess there really isn't much money to be made.

The best feature of that, is it really makes you think how much you really need all of those monthly subscriptions…. It was great when I changed my main card over, an few online subscriptions were left terminate.

Several countries around the world require the banks to do it for you when you change. There are even a couple of US banks that will do it - and their banking system is positively archaic in most respects. Don't worry, one day NZ retail banking with catch up to the rest of the world.
