Manulife Bank Introduces a New Approach to Rewards, Rooted in Health, Wealth and Longevity

EmitenTrust.com New Visa Infinite® and Visa Platinum® cards bring Manulife Better Rewards™ to everyday spending

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2026 /CNW/ -- Manulife Bank launched the Manulife Bank Visa Infinite* and Manulife Bank Visa Platinum* cards with Manulife Better Rewards™, a new credit card offering that rewards the everyday spending Canadians make to support their health, wealth and longevity.

Enabled by Visa, a global leader in digital payments, the new cards help Canadians earn more rewards on the purchases that are already part of their lives – from health and wellness to travel, dining and entertainment. Whether it's a monthly gym membership, tickets to a favourite concert or dinner with friends and family, cardholders can turn everyday spending into meaningful value.

This launch expands the banking solutions available through Manulife Bank's advisor network. Through more than 23,000 financial professionals across Canada, Manulife Bank helps Canadians access everyday banking products alongside the financial advice that supports their long-term goals. The addition of these new credit cards gives advisors another way to complement the financial advice they provide--bringing everyday banking and long-term financial planning together.

"Canadians are increasingly investing in their health, wellness and the experiences that enrich their lives – from staying active and taking care of their well-being to travelling and spending time with family and friends," said Tom Oddie, Vice President, Head of Retail Products, Manulife Bank. "We set out to create a card that rewards those investments. Through Manulife Better Rewards™, cardholders can turn spending that supports their well-being and the experiences that matter most into meaningful value, with a rewards experience designed around how they live. And for our advisors, it's another way to help clients bring their everyday spending and long-term goals together."

Powered by Manulife Better Rewards™, both Visa cards offer enhanced rewards on eligible health and wellness purchases. The program reflects Manulife's belief that financial well-being is connected to broader life goals and rewards Canadians for the everyday spending that support their health, wealth and longevity.
