The partnership marks GoTyme Bank’s growing presence on the global stage, bringing Filipino fans closer than ever to the world’s most-watched sporting event and delivering unforgettable experiences on and off the pitch.

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.

We are committed to connecting fans to the moments that matter most, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 is one of the world’s most anticipated sporting events. We are amplifying this partnership through the collaboration with GoTyme Bank, reflecting our shared goal of expanding access and enabling more Filipinos to participate in the global football experience. Together, we are enabling secure and seamless digital payments to unlock meaningful opportunities for cardholders across the Philippines,” said Jeffrey Navarro, Visa’s Country Manager for the Philippines.

Step into the beautiful game: Experience the thrilling FIFA World Cup 2026™ with Visa and GoTyme Bank

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is expected to be one of the most widely watched sporting events in history. Hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the tournament will feature a record-breaking 48 teams competing in 104 matches. FIFA projects that billions of viewers around the world will tune in via broadcast and streaming, potentially setting new global viewership records. The tournament will kick off on June 11, 2026, and conclude with the final on July 19, 2026, in New York/New Jersey, drawing millions of fans to stadiums and fan events across North America.

For many Filipino fans, the FIFA World Cup is a global spectacle they passionately follow but rarely have the chance to experience firsthand. Through Visa’s partnership with GoTyme Bank for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, this is set to change. 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.

Fly to the FIFA World Cup 2026: Spend and win big with GoTyme Bank limited-edition Visa cards

As part of its official partnership with Visa for the FIFA World Cup 2026, 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 will showcase FIFA World Cup 2026 imagery created 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.

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 ₱1,000 equivalent spent abroad counts as three raffle entries, increasing customers’ chances of winning. 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 roundtrip business class tickets.

The Trophy Gold card is exceptionally rare, approximately 1 in 20,000 cards nationwide, and comes with no minimum spend requirement. Simply obtaining 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 roundtrip 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.

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.

This campaign combines everyday banking with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, giving GoTyme Bank customers a chance to turn routine spending into a journey to football’s grandest stage—culminating in the ultimate prize: the chance to witness history at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final
