What if you could access world-class airport lounges and restaurants at exclusive discounts all while having access to FX fee free corporate cards and a tailored expense management platform?

Well now you can! We’re proud to announce that we have partnered with Mastercard Travel Pass provided by DragonPass to give every Cape cardholder access to 1,300+ airport lounges in more than 140 countries and bring you seamless and secure corporate travel nirvana as part of our travel rewards solution.

The Mastercard Travel Pass is a digital solution that gives travelers access to a growing number of perks, whether that’s relaxing in a comfortable environment like Marhaba Lounge at Dubai International Airport, enjoying meals or drinks at discounted prices at New York’s JFK, or accessing airport information on the UK’s Heathrow with ease.

Coupled with Cape's corporate cards with spend controls and limits tailored to your business and no transaction fees, cardholders can enjoy traveling without having to worry about overspending, accumulating thousands in FX fees, or tap-to-pay restrictions. 

Cape aims to simplify and streamline the financial processes of every business and The Mastercard Travel Pass is an extension of this philosophy, allowing Cape users to take control of their finances while traveling for work with peace of mind. As we continue evolving our travel rewards, we’re changing the way people travel and spend money abroad and at home.

How do you connect your Cape account to Mastercard Travel Pass?

The great thing is, any Cape cardholder on Essential and Scale plans can access this benefit!  Whether it’s redeeming their one lounge pass or endless restaurant discounts and handy travel info.
