Case Study — Diners Club International
Diners Club International
Reintroducing a heritage card to the UAE's new affluents
About Diners Club International
Diners Club International is the world's original charge card, and its UAE programme brings that heritage to the Emirates: premium personal and corporate cards with lounge access in over 1,300 airports, five-percent cashback categories and concierge service. The brand speaks to affluent travellers who value belonging over bling.
How we approached it
Heritage payment brands risk feeling dated next to fintech startups. Our redesign leaned into what fintechs can't copy — seventy years of belonging — anchoring the hero on a single word: belong. Card products were restructured into comparable tiers, benefits rewritten as concrete travel moments, and the application journey cut to minutes. Speed was a launch requirement, not an afterthought.
From first sketch to launch.
