Borderfree, Visa bring special US retail offers to Singapore cardholders

Borderfree and Visa have partnered to offer exclusive free shipping from Borderfree’s US retail clients to Visa cardholders in Singapore.

Participating retailers include Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, True Religion, AG Adriano Goldschmied, Garnet Hill, OnlineShoes.com, CHEFS Catalog and Jos. A. Bank.

Ooi Huey Tyng, Visa Country Manager for Singapore and Brunei, sees enormous potential for the online shopping landscape as e-commerce spending on Visa cards continue to experience strong growth over the past year.

He said Visa cardholders are making online purchases from their favorite fashion retailers to travel bookings as well as everyday purchases like groceries, movie tickets, personal electronics and books.

“We see a strong desire among cardholders in Singapore and across Southeast Asia to shop with iconic US brands, and we are always looking for new opportunities to reward our valued cardholders. Joining hands with Borderfree is a way for us to provide exclusive promotions and incentives from the global brands our cardholders love," Tyna added.

More than 140 US-based retailers rely on Borderfree to help them sell online in over 100 countries and territories and over 60 currencies. Borderfree manages all aspects of international online retailing including: localized pricing and payment processing, landed cost calculation, customs clearance and brokerage, fraud management, logistics orchestration and customer-experience.

We are excited to work with Visa to develop a range of exclusive promotions for international consumers,” said Michael DeSimone, CEO, Borderfree.
