The National Trust, in association with MBNA Europe Ltd. has launched the new National
Trust MasterCard, which aims to raise more than £2 million in five years for its
continuing conservation work.
The Trust will receive £15 from the first transaction
made after the opening of a new account, 30 pence for every £100 spent and £2 annually
for every card which remains active.

The decision to go into partnership with MBNA was taken following a tendering process
to find the best deal for both the Trust and its members and supporters.

Members of the National Trust are being sent details of the credit card, which comes
in four different designs to reflect its care of historic properties, gardens, countryside
and the coast.
