Mastercard launches World Elite card in Dominican Republic

Mastercard has introduced its World Elite card to the Dominican Republic, making it the first market in the Caribbean and Central America to receive the company’s most exclusive global product. The card is designed for high-income consumers seeking premium experiences in travel, gastronomy, and entertainment.

Tomás Alonso, Mastercard’s country manager for the Dominican Republic, stated that the launch responds to shifting consumer preferences, noting that many affluent individuals now prioritize experiences over material possessions. The card aims to provide exclusive benefits both locally and internationally.

Availability will depend on the implementation schedules of individual issuing banks.

Mastercard also indicated plans to expand its local operations and workforce in the country.
