Ukrainian esports organisation Natus Vincere (NAVI) has officially launched an official payment card in partnership with Visa and PrivatBank.
According to the announcement, users will be able to use a NAVI-branded card to make purchases while also getting access to cashback benefits and other bonuses.
To get the card, users must have an existing Universal Visa or Universal Gold card from Ukrainian bank PrivatBank. Fans also need to install the bank’s official app to obtain a NAVI card design and activate the cashback services.
NAVI noted that the payment card offers a 15% cashback and promo codes for gaming and streaming services. Moreover, the card provides up to a 30% discount on NAVI’s shop for the first 1,000 purchases, giveaways, as well as access to exclusive events, tournaments, and even the chance to visit NAVI’s office.
NAVI Strengthens its Partnership with VISA
NAVI’s partnership with the payment card services was initially launched in 2024 when the two companies collaborated to create the NAVI Visa Academy, a youth-focused esports academy project.
The new NAVI-skin card not only represents an evolution of that partnership, but also the role financial institutions are not playing in the esports space. While other esports organisations, such as Team Vitality, Astralis, and 100 Thieves, have previously launched esports-themed payment cards, NAVI is among the first to offer cashback services.
Oleksii ‘XAOC’ Kucherov, Chief Operating Officer at NAVI, commented: “We at NAVI are used to playing at full power — and we approached this card launch the same way. This is the first gaming card in Ukraine, created by players for players.”
Aside from VISA and PrivatBank, the esports team also counts on the support of music streaming service Napster, energy drink Red Bull, Logitech G, and title partner GG.BET.
Kucherov added: “Together with Visa and PrivatBank, we combined our strengths to give fans more than just emotion: cashback on favourite services, discounts, giveaways, and a personalised skin. It’s a team effort between brands trusted by millions. And this is only the beginning of a long game.”
