MBNA

MBNA Corporation was founded in the US in 1982, bringing innovation and change to the credit card industry. We grew from being a small regional credit card issuer to become the largest independent credit card issuer in the world prior to our acquisition by the Bank of America Corporation in January 2006.

To get the right customers, we appealed to people with a strong common interest through a concept known as Affinity Marketing. Today our credit cards and related products are endorsed by more than 5,000 organisations, sports teams and financial institutions worldwide.

MBNA opened for business in Ireland in March 1997. With a commitment to deliver higher standards and a drive to exceed your expectations, we have grown to become one of the top 3 credit card providers in Ireland, employing over 1,000 people servicing our customers from our offices in Dublin and Carrick-on-Shannon.

We have established successful affinity card programmes and our credit cards are endorsed by organisations as diverse as EBS Building Society, Ryanair, Dublin SPCA and Celtic Football Club, to name but a few.
