Football fans! This one is for you.
Visa is working with GoTyme Bank for the FIFA World Cup 2026 – even giving the chance for an all-expense-paid trip to the US to catch the FIFA World Cup. But we’ll get to that later. This exciting partnership is a defining moment for the fastest-growing bank in the Philippines, as it also marks their presence on the global stage. This exciting opportunity is also a win for fans, bringing them closer to the world’s most-watched sporting event.
With more than 9 million customers in the Philippines and over 20 million worldwide, GoTyme Bank has rapidly grown into the country’s fastest-growing bank, expanding access to everyday financial services while connecting Filipinos to opportunities beyond the country. I personally use my GoTyme card whenever I travel abroad, whether to withdraw cash (I have a growing collection of foreign bills) or to tap for purchases.
“This partnership marks an important step forward for GoTyme Bank. Working alongside Visa in connection with the FIFA World Cup 2026™ reflects the ambition we have for our customers and for the country,” says GoTyme Bank CEO Nate Clarke.
Experience the FIFA World Cup 2026™ with Visa and GoTyme Bank
Through Visa’s partnership with GoTyme Bank for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, GoTyme Bank cardholders who use their GoTyme Bank Visa Debit Card will have the opportunity to experience the tournament live, marking a significant milestone for the bank as it aligns itself with one of the world’s most recognized sporting events and expands its presence on the global stage.
GoTyme Bank is launching a series of limited-edition GoTyme Bank Visa Debit Cards featuring the tournament’s iconic trophy. Available in Pitch Black and Trophy Gold, these GoTyme Bank Visa Debit Cards feature FIFA World Cup 2026™ imagery by Filipino artist Ross Du, bringing a distinct local touch to the global tournament. These cards will be available nationwide through GoTyme Bank kiosks beginning March 23.

Bringing Filipinos Closer to the FIFA World Cup 2026
Cardholders, whether using the Classic GoTyme Bank Visa Debit Card, the Pitch Black edition, or the ultra-exclusive Trophy Gold, will earn raffle entries toward the promo, giving them a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in the United States, courtesy of Visa.
For the Classic and Pitch Black cards, every minimum spend of PHP1,000 earns one raffle entry. Overseas spending comes with a 3x multiplier, meaning every PHP1,000 equivalent spent abroad counts as three raffle entries, increasing customers’ chances of winning—good news for us who use our GoTyme cards when travelling.
One Classic cardholder and one Pitch Black cardholder will each win an all-expense-paid trip for two to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Group Stage in Los Angeles, including round-trip business class tickets, not economy, but business class.
The Trophy Gold card is rare and comes with no minimum spend requirement. Simply having a Gold card automatically qualifies the cardholder for the grand prize raffle draw. One Trophy Gold cardholder will win an all-expense-paid trip for two to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final in New York City, also with round-trip business class seats. In addition to the Grand Prizes, customers will also have the chance to receive exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ Visa Premium merchandise. So make sure to tell your friends who are football fans as well.
All card types (Classic, Pitch Black, and Trophy Gold) are randomly distributed at kiosks nationwide, with the Trophy Gold card being much rarer, making it a coveted collector’s item. Existing cardholders can upgrade to a limited-edition card for a ₱200 replacement fee, with the new card printed in under five minutes at participating kiosks. The fly-off promo runs until May 7 for Classic and Pitch Black cardholders for a chance to win trips to the FIFA World Cup™ Group Stage, while the Trophy Gold promo runs until June 10 for a chance to win a trip to the FIFA World Cup™ Final.
