Don't have enough Uber in your life? Sign up for an Uber debit card.
The ride-hailing company is launching a debit card available to Uber Mexico customers. The Uber Bankaool debit card, released in partnership with Mastercard and the Mexican online bank Bankaool, will work as a regular debit card for in-store purchases, e-commerce and ATM withdrawals.
The card represents an effort by Uber to attract more customers in Mexico, where some debit providers don't allow e-commerce purchases like Uber rides.

“We are very excited to [be] able to offer safe, reliable and affordable rides to more people with this new card, which will be available for all Mexicans. With this partnership, we reaffirm our commitment with Mexico to make transportation available for everyone," Francisco Sordo, the head of Uber for Mexico and Central America, said in a statement.

The partnership with Bankaool follows Uber's pattern of working with fintech companies to provide financial benefits to its drivers or customers.
Customers in Mexico can apply for an Uber debit card on Bankaool's website. The card will also soon be available in convenience stores.
