Manchester City have retained Saigon Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) as their official affinity card partner in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

Vietnam's leading retail bank launched Manchester City's first ever official debit card in the region when the deal was first struck in 2014, and will now release a co-branded Visa credit card on the club's behalf. Spending on the new card will give customers a range of benefits and offer them the opportunity to win Manchester City-related experiences.

The Premier League team will also work with SHB on the development of City Football Schools in Vietnam to encourage young people to take up the game and improve their skills.

"Our partnership with SHB has grown from strength to strength over the last two years and we believe that together we can continue to provide SHB's loyal customers with real value and once-in-a-lifetime experiences," said Damian Willoughby, senior vice president of partnerships at City Football Group.

"Our fanbase in south-east Asia includes some of the most enthusiastic Manchester City supporters in the world and their passion for football is inspiring. In partnership with SHB, we look to continue offering them greater opportunities to connect with the club and sport they love."
