Brussels Airlines, Beobank and Mastercard launch the first Belgian card with a miles programme designed for self-employed professionals and business owners
After a successful launch of three credit cards in March, a new step is taken
Brussels, 12 November 2025 – Brussels Airlines, Beobank and Mastercard are launching the first card that comes with a miles programme designed specifically for self-employed professionals and business owners: a unique offer in Belgium. The Beobank Brussels Airlines Navigator Mastercard is a deferred1 debit card that offers exclusive benefits and a comprehensive, efficient solution for managing business expenses and cash flow.
This new card is the result of a strategic partnership between Beobank, Brussels Airlines and Mastercard, in cooperation with Miles & More. The aim is to provide added value to self-employed customers and entrepreneurs by offering a flexible payment solution that is accepted worldwide, while also including an advantageous loyalty programme and an insurance package to make travelling more stress-free and shopping more secure.
'Navigator' is positioned as the 'business class' of deferred debit cards. It is intended exclusively for business expenses and offers not only a solution for effective expense management but also many exclusive privileges throughout the year, including:
- Unlimited miles accumulation: the Beobank Brussels Airlines Navigator Mastercard (NL – FR) allows you to accumulate unlimited miles. From business dinners to hotel reservations for business trips, including fuel purchases, each eligible transaction2 earns 1 mile per euro spent, which can be exchanged for numerous benefits such as airline tickets, upgrades, privileged access to lounges, and exclusive benefits through Miles & More.
- Travel with peace of mind: a premium package with 9 insurance policies3 (5 travel insurance policies and 4 purchase & equipment insurance policies), including insurance for your phone and computer: two essential work tools for self-employed professionals and business owners.
- Flexibility and worldwide acceptance: the ability to travel for work anywhere in the world thanks to the worldwide acceptance of the Mastercard network and to quickly and easily make contactless payments for small expenses.
- Exclusive Brussels Airlines and Mastercard privileges such as access to Brussels Airlines' soon-to-be completely renovated lounges at a preferential rate, allowing you to work in a quiet environment before your flight or relax before a business trip, or unique experiences through Mastercard Travel Rewards, Priceless, Live Nation, Priority PassTM and Mastercard Travel Experiences.

Offering a complete and efficient solution for financial management, this new card combines comfort and flexibility through a variety of benefits, underscoring Brussels Airlines' dedication to enriching the experience of its business travellers and addressing their specific needs.

Our customers have already saved more than 68 million Miles and the customer feedback we are receiving is particularly positive, especially about the insurance package and the Brussels Airlines and Mastercard benefits. So, we are confident that this new card, specially designed for self-employed professionals and business owners, will also meet the needs of our business customers while enriching their overall experience."
