AEON Biker Visa Credit Card: The Ultimate Financial Gear for Riders

AEON Credit has introduced Malaysia’s first credit card designed exclusively for bikers, the AEON Biker Visa Card.

Unlike conventional credit cards, this one offers tailored benefits that cater to the real needs of motorcycle riders, from savings on servicing and spare parts to insurance and lifestyle rewards.

For too long, bikers have had to rely on generic financial products that don’t match the unique cost of maintaining a motorcycle — where replacing just one tire can cost more than a full set for a car. With this card, AEON Credit is putting riders back in the spotlight, recognizing the role bikers play in keeping Malaysia moving.

There was a time when we walked into a café with our heads held high as bikers, enjoying special privileges and discounts simply because we ride.

The AEON Biker Visa Card isn’t just a payment tool. It’s a statement of identity, restoring the sense of pride and privilege that comes with life on two wheels.

Types of AEON Biker Visa Card
There are two variants of the AEON Biker Visa Card, each extensively researched and tailored to suit different motorcycling needs:

AEON Biker Infinite Visa Card: Perfect for those who frequently travel abroad, whether crossing borders on a motorcycle, or flying overseas. This premium card offers travel-focused benefits and exclusive privileges.
AEON Biker Visa Gold Card: Ideal for riders who commute daily, with everyday rewards tailored to the needs of local riders.

Before diving into the full list of features and benefits, let’s take a closer look at what the AEON Biker Visa Card has to offer.

Ride Rewards That Matter
The cost of motorcycling has surged over the past five years, from spare parts and servicing to safety gear and accessories. A snapped CVT belt on a scooter alone can cost around RM400. Add to that the rising prices of lubricants, tires, and quality riding gear like helmets, jackets, gloves, and footwear, and it’s clear that being a responsible rider isn’t cheap.

That’s why the AEON Biker Visa Card rewards you for spending on what matters most to bikers:

Up to 8% cashback on motorcycle spare parts, accessories, merchandise, and service. (8% for Biker Infinite, 5% for Biker Gold.)
8% cashback overseas spend (for Biker Infinite only).
2% cashback for petrol (capped at RM20 for Biker Infinite, RM15 for Biker Gold per month).
2% cashback for insurance.
0.5% cashback for selected retail transactions.

Travel Rewards
For riders who frequently travel abroad, the AEON Biker Visa Infinite offers exclusive perks to elevate your journeys. In addition to earning 8% cashback on overseas spending, cardholders enjoy premium travel privileges such as:

8x complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge (includes 1 guest per visit).
Access to Visa Concierge Services and a curated selection of luxury hotel partners via the Visa platform.

Wherever the road or skies take you, the Biker Visa Infinite ensures your travel experience is seamless and rewarding.

Events & Communities
There’s nothing quite like the bond between bikers, built through shared passion, stories, and the open road. AEON Biker Visa Cardholders are invited to join exclusive events that celebrate this camaraderie:

Invitations to motorcycle rallies and group rides, with VIP access for Biker Infinite cardholders.
Complimentary or discounted entry to major bike shows and gatherings in Malaysia.
Special privileges at selected motorcycle dealerships and merchandise outlets.

Accidents often happen when we least expect them and as bikers, we’ve either faced emergencies ourselves or witnessed fellow riders struggle without proper insurance coverage. Unfortunately, many still carry the “it-won’t-happen-to-me” mindset… until it does.

The AEON Biker Visa Card is designed to provide peace of mind , offering complimentary insurance coverage that helps protect you on every ride, whether on Malaysian roads or beyond.

This protection is especially critical for riders crossing borders. For example, if you ride into Thailand and are involved in an accident, you could be held financially liable on the spot, or even barred from leaving the country until the settlement is made. Having proper travel and medical protection isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

What’s more, many forget that travel insurance also covers local travel within Malaysia, not just international trips.

With the AEON Biker Visa Card, you’re automatically covered with:

Up to RM500,000 complimentary coverage (Biker Infinite).
Up to RM4,000 coverage (Biker Gold).
Coverage includes:
- 24-hour personal accident insurance.
- Travel accident protection (Biker Infinite only).
- Travel delay coverage (Biker Infinite only).
- Ambulance fees.

Wherever you ride, ride with confidence, backed by protection that travels with you.

Other Rewards & Financial Flexibility

Beyond cashback and lifestyle benefits, the AEON Biker Visa Card also gives you powerful financial tools that go far beyond typical “buy now, pay later” services.

While 0% instalment plans are commonly available on certain online shopping platforms, the AEON Biker Visa Card stands out by providing three additional features:

Balance Transfer
- Transfer outstanding balances from other credit cards to consolidate your payments into one manageable monthly plan. This is something you can’t do with standard online shopping credit.
Ready Cash
- Access cash when you need it most, whether you’re travelling to places that only accept physical currency or when QR payment options are unavailable. In contrast, online shopping credit is limited to platform-specific use and does not allow cash withdrawals.
Flexi Payment Plan
- Enjoy the freedom to pay your bill at your own pace, whether it’s the minimum amount or more. Unlike fixed-repayment buy now, pay later services, you are not restricted to rigid terms.

With the AEON Biker Visa Card, you don’t just earn rewards, you gain real financial flexibility built for riders who value control, convenience, and peace of mind.

AEON Biker Visa Credit Card Launch Campaign
To celebrate the launch of the AEON Biker Visa Card, new cardholders will receive a complimentary set of Baseus W04 Wireless Earbuds, perfect for life on the move.

Here’s how to qualify:
1. Apply and get approved for the AEON Biker Visa Card.
2. Activate your card.
3. Spend a minimum of RM500 in cumulative retail transactions within the campaign period.

Campaign period: 17 June to 16 September 2025

Conclusion
So, is the AEON Biker Visa Card worth having? Absolutely.

From cashback on essentials and lifestyle rewards to insurance protection and exclusive events, the benefits are designed to support the real needs of bikers both on and off the road.

It is more than just a credit card. It’s your companion on every journey.

Castrol Partners with Honda for Malaysian Cub Prix and MotoGP

Honda racing motorcycles have adorned several famous liveries in the past, but there is one which is no less iconic: The Castrol colours. As such, the tradition continues with Castrol as the title sponsor of a Honda factory team. It extends to Malaysia as Castrol and Honda partner up for the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, besides extending their support to the Honda HRC Castrol Factory Team in MotoGP.

Castrol and Honda

Before going further, we are sure old-timer World Superbike fans fondly remember the Castrol liveried Honda RVF750 (RC45) battling in the World Superbike Championship in the mid-90s. John Kocinski then delivered a world title on that bike in 1997.

Colin Edwards would follow that feat with two titles, in 2000 and 2002, on the Castrol-liveried Honda VTR1000 SP1 (RC51). Those were arguably the Golden Age of Superbike racing.

Back to the present day

Coming back to the present day, Castrol and Boon Siew Honda Malaysia has collaborated to be the title sponsor of the CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING team, competing in the 2025 PETRONAS MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship.

Over to the pinnacle of motorcycle road racing, Castrol and Honda are partners for the Honda HRC Castrol factory team.

From the Press Release

Castrol, a global leader in advanced lubricant technology, kicks off 2025 with high-impact developments in its motorcycle racing portfolio: a new rider lineup for the CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING team in the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship and an exciting global collaboration with the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team.

These parallel initiatives reinforce Castrol’s commitment to innovation, performance, and supporting talent on both local and international tracks.

Castrol will serve as the main sponsor and technical partner of the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team starting from the 2025 MotoGP season. Under this collaboration, Castrol will supply lubricants, fuels, and technical support, marking a significant milestone in the long-standing relationship between the two motorsport powerhouses.

The newly named Honda HRC Castrol team made its on-track debut at the MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang International Circuit on 5 February 2025, with the season having officially kicked off on 2 March in Buriram, Thailand.

“Castrol has a long history of using motorsport to showcase its technical capabilities and co- engineer new technologies. This collaboration is a great opportunity to connect even more closely with motorcycle racing fans and bike enthusiasts worldwide,” said Sandeep Sangwan, Chief Marketing Officer, Castrol.

“HRC and Castrol share the same vision and drive. We’ve had great success together in the past, and this renewed partnership is a natural fit,” added Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation.

Closer to home, CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING is proud to unveil its new rider lineup ahead of the 2025 Petronas MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, which kicks off on 19 and 20 April at Sepang (North) International Circuit, Selangor.

The team welcomes two new additions—Muhammad Haziq Hakimy Kamaruddin and Aisy Izz Hafiy Hairul Hafiz—who join returning rider Aqeel Danish Zaiermanhady to compete in the fiercely contested CP125 category.

Both Haziq Hakimy and Aisy bring proven credentials from the Honda One Make Challenge, with Hakimy placing third in 2022 and Aisy finishing runner-up in 2021. Their arrival signals a refreshed and ambitious push for podium finishes this season, following Md Haziq Hamdan’s third-place success in the ninth round of the 2024 season.

“We are optimistic about the new lineup this season and believe that all three riders can handle the job well and be main competitors for podium finishes,” said Shahrol Yuzy Ahmad Zaini, Team Manager of CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING. “Their recent training performances were impressive, and we’re confident this team will deliver exciting results throughout the season,” he added.

Keow Mei-Shan, Marketing Director of Castrol Malaysia & Singapore, added, “The new lineup reflects our commitment to nurturing young talents while continuing to strive for success on the track. We are thrilled to have Aqeel, Haziq Hakimy, and Aisy representing CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING. Their passion for racing and potential align with everything Castrol stands for.”

From the premier stage of MotoGP to the national circuits of Malaysia, Castrol POWER1 continues to be the driving force behind racing excellence—delivering superior engine protection, optimized performance, and confidence on every ride.

With its newly forged global partnership with Honda HRC and an energized domestic racing team, Castrol is poised to make 2025 a landmark year in motorcycle motorsports.

FRU Truck Tragedy – Arrest Warrant Issued for Truck Company Owner

An arrest warrant has been issued for the owner of the lorry company involved in the accident that killed nine members of the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU).

The owner of Tashveen Trading, a man named “Ravi”, failed to appear in court for the trial. Deputy Public Prosecutor Izzuddin Fakri Hamdan applied for the arrest warrant before Magistrate Naidatul Athirah Azman due to the company owner’s absence at the Teluk Intan Court today.

Naidatul Athirah granted the prosecution’s request and set 29 July as the next mention date for the arrest warrant.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) had reportedly sent a summons notice to the company owner yesterday to attend the prosecution proceedings.

The owner was supposed to appear in court today to face charges under Sections 57 and 58 of the Land Public Transport Act (APAD) 2010, related to the lorry carrying a load that violated license conditions and exceeded the permitted gross vehicle weight (BDM).

In a statement on 30 May, the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) announced the cancellation of the operating license for the gravel-carrying lorry company following the crash that killed nine FRU members on Jalan Sungai Lampam, Simpang Tangki Air, Langkap, on 13 May.

The revocation of the company’s operator license took effect on 29 May 2025, prohibiting the company from operating or providing any services using vehicles registered under the license.

APAD’s investigation found that the company failed to comply with the Industrial Safety Code of Practice (ICOP), did not ensure the Global Positioning System (GPS) was functional (and had expired), and carried cargo that did not match the type specified in the vehicle permit.

In the 8:50 a.m. incident on 13 May, an FRU truck carrying 18 personnel from Unit 5 based in Sungai Senam, Ipoh, collided with a gravel-laden lorry, resulting in 9 deaths, 2 critically injured, and 7 others wounded.

On 16 May, the lorry driver was charged with nine counts in the Sessions Court here.

203 Bus Accidents since 2023, say Police

There a total of 203 bus accidents in Malaysia since January 2023 to May this year. These bus-related accidents caused 39 deaths, 68 serious injuries, and 197 minor injuries. The total of 304 casualties averages close to 1.5 casualty rate per accident.

Speaking to Utusan Malaysia, Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Director Datuk Seri Mohd. Yusri Hassan Basri said driver behaviour and vehicle condition were among the main causes of the crashes.

“Among them, drivers become fatigued from long hours without rest, lose focus, or exceed speed limits — especially on steep or slippery roads,” he was quoted as saying.

He added that inexperience, poor bus handling skills, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs also contributed to the incidents.

Of the total accidents, 104 occurred in 2023, 61 in 2024, and 38 in the first five months of this year.

Mechanical issues such as sudden brake or steering failure, worn-out tyres, or non-functioning lights were also identified as causes.

“Some accidents happened due to pressure from operators chasing tight schedules, with some buses not undergoing proper checks before departure,” Mohd Yusri said.

He also cited poor road conditions, bad weather, overcrowded buses, and weak company oversight as contributing factors.
