On Wednesday (November 13, 2025), Brussels Airlines announced that in partnership with Beobank and Mastercard, they are launching the first co-branded debit card in Belgium that comes with a miles program designed specifically for self-employed professionals and business owners.  The Beobank Brussels Airlines Navigator Mastercard is a deferred debit card that offers exclusive benefits and a comprehensive, efficient solution for managing business expenses and cash flow.  This card is exclusively intended for professional expenses and is linked to a Beobank payment account for professional use.

Speaking about the expanded co-branded card portfolio with Beobank, Brussels Airlines’ Head of Customer Experience, Olivier Brynaert, said,

“The launch of this partnership has been a success.  Our customers have already saved more than 68 million Miles and the customer feedback we are receiving is particularly positive, especially about the insurance package and the Brussels Airlines and Mastercard benefits.  So, we are confident that this new card, specially designed for self-employed professionals and business owners, will also meet the needs of our business customers while enriching their overall experience.”

Also commenting on the launch of the new co-branded debit card, Beobank’s Head of Cards and Payments, Yannick Willems, said,

“Beobank’s ambition is to always offer individuals, self-employed professionals and business owners’ solutions that make their daily lives easier. With this new card, which is unique in Belgium, we are offering them much more than just a means of payment: a powerful and comprehensive solution that rewards every purchase and secures their transactions thanks to an insurance package designed for travel and everyday business purchases. It's a concrete way of extending the personalised support that is so important to us, offering them greater peace of mind and allowing them to focus fully on developing their business.” ​

Mastercard’s Country manager – Belgium and Luxembourg, added,

“At Mastercard, we are proud to contribute to this new card, which meets the specific needs of Belgian self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs. Thanks to our international acceptance network, the Navigator card makes it easier to manage business expenses anywhere in the world. But we go even further: by integrating exclusive benefits such as preferential access to Live Nation events, refunds for online purchases, the Business Bonus programme and Fast Track, we transform every transaction into an enriched experience. Our ambition is clear: to offer a simple, secure and personalised payment solution that combines performance and privileges to support professionals in their daily lives and while travelling.”

The new card has been developed in partnership with Beobank, Brussels Airlines, Mastercard and Miles & More, Lufthansa Group’s loyalty program. The goal is to provide added value to self-employed customers and entrepreneurs by offering a flexible payment solution that is accepted worldwide, while also including an advantageous loyalty program, as well as an insurance package to make traveling more stress-free and shopping more secure.  The Beobank Brussels Airlines Navigator Mastercard has been positioned as the ‘Business Class' of deferred debit cards. 

The ‘Navigator’ Mastercard allows customers to accumulate unlimited miles.  From business dinners to hotel reservations for business trips, including fuel purchases, each eligible transaction earns one mile per euro spent, which can be exchanged for numerous benefits such as airline tickets, upgrades, privileged access to lounges, and exclusive benefits through Miles & More.  The card also comes with a premium package with 9 insurance policies, including five travel insurance policies and four purchase & equipment insurance policies, which cover a customer’s phone and computer.

Additionally, cardholders will enjoy exclusive Brussels Airlines and Mastercard privileges such as access to Brussels Airlines’ soon-to-be completely renovated lounges at a preferential rate, or unique experiences through Mastercard Travel Rewards, Priceless, Live Nation, Priority Pass^TM and Mastercard Travel Experiences.
