Ukrainian esports powerhouse Natus Vincere, commonly known as NAVI, has introduced an exciting new financial product for its fans. In collaboration with global giant Visa and the Ukrainian banking leader PrivatBank, NAVI has launched a branded payment card that promises a host of exclusive benefits to its users. This initiative not only showcases the growing intersection between esports and financial services but also offers an enticing package of rewards for the gaming community.
The NAVI Payment Card Experience
Reports suggest that fans who opt for the NAVI card will be able to enjoy numerous perks, including cashback and exclusive bonuses. To obtain this card, users must be existing holders of either the Universal Visa or Universal Gold card from PrivatBank. By downloading the bank’s official app, users can select the NAVI design and activate cashback services. This card not only offers a 15% cashback on purchases but also provides up to a 30% discount on the NAVI shop for the first 1,000 transactions. Additional benefits include promo codes for gaming and streaming platforms, access to special events and tournaments, and even the unique opportunity to tour the NAVI office.
NAVI’s Growing Relationship with Visa
This latest venture further solidifies NAVI’s fruitful relationship with Visa, which began back in 2024 with the launch of the NAVI Visa Academy—a groundbreaking esports academy aimed at nurturing young gamers. The introduction of the NAVI card signifies the expanding role that financial entities are playing in the esports industry. While other teams like Team Vitality, Astralis, and 100 Thieves have introduced their own esports-themed cards, NAVI stands out by offering a comprehensive cashback service.
Oleksii ‘XAOC’ Kucherov, NAVI’s Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the team’s commitment to this project, stating, “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.”
A Collaborative Effort
Beyond Visa and PrivatBank, NAVI’s card launch is supported by several high-profile partners, including music streaming service Napster, energy drink Red Bull, Logitech G, and title partner GG.BET. Kucherov highlighted the collaborative nature of the project, adding, “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.”
