“Adding rewards to our platform brings us even closer to our ambition of linking all financial services in one place. This relationship will see us continue to offer significant value to Bud users, banks, the ever-expanding number of partners in our marketplace and now Avios customers too. It’s the start of a fantastic relationship.”
