A business of L Brands, Inc., Columbus, Ohio based Victoria's Secret is the leading specialty retailer of bras, panties, lingerie, pajamas and beauty products. With nearly 1,400 stores worldwide and a robust e-commerce platform, Victoria's Secret customers can shop the brand anywhere and anytime.
Cardmembers can use their Victoria's Secret Credit Card with Apple Pay for an easy, secure and private way to pay and can make purchases with their iPhone® or Apple Watch® for a seamless checkout experience. Cardmembers also have the benefit of always having their card readily available, and with a simple tap, can make contactless, secure purchases in store and earn rewards at Victoria's Secret.
"The all-new Victoria's Secret Credit Card builds on the existing rewards and benefits that cardmembers already know and love by providing a best-in-class private label experience through innovative digital features increasingly used and preferred by the brand's customers," said Val Greer, EVP and chief commercial officer, Alliance Data Card Services. "The new card not only gives shoppers convenient digital payment options and added security, but also drives brand engagement and customer loyalty through meaningful rewards and benefits like perks of the month, anniversary gifts and birthday celebrations. We are excited to partner with Victoria's Secret to deliver a truly comprehensive payment and customer rewards solution for its millions of valued cardmembers."
Processed by Mastercard, the enhanced Victoria's Secret Credit Card includes digital wallet capabilities as well as the added security of chip technology, expiration date and a CVV—features not often found with a private label credit card. The new card also offers cardmembers transaction alerts and card controls for added peace of mind.
"Today's consumer is seeking enhanced feature functionalities from their card offerings that provide them touchless payment options while also delivering best-in-class security," said John Levitsky, EVP Account Management in North America for Mastercard. "We are proud to partner with Alliance Data and Victoria's Secret to ensure cardholders have access to these benefits through their private label card."
