A new kind of business travel perk has just arrived in Belgium, and it is already reshaping the way self-employed professionals manage their work trips and expenses. Brussels Airlines, Beobank and Mastercard have unveiled the Beobank Brussels Airlines Navigator Mastercard, the country’s first debit card with a miles programme created specifically for entrepreneurs and small-business owners.
With business travel rebounding and independent professionals looking for ways to streamline spending, the Navigator card lands at the perfect moment. It introduces a blend of financial control, loyalty rewards and travel-ready protections that previously required multiple products to achieve.
Positioned as the business-class tier of deferred debit cards, Navigator is built for everyday business expenses but offers far more than standard payment convenience. Cardholders earn one mile for every euro spent on eligible transactions, with no cap on how many miles they can accumulate. For many entrepreneurs, this turns routine spending into a steady stream of rewards redeemable for flights, upgrades, lounge privileges and the wider Miles & More ecosystem.
The card also arrives with an unusually extensive insurance suite. Business travellers gain access to a package of nine policies, covering everything from trip protection to purchase insurance, along with coverage for smartphones and laptops – essential tools for anyone working on the go.
Because it operates on the Mastercard network, the card benefits from global acceptance and simple contactless payments, making it practical for everyday purchases and international trips alike. Added privileges from Brussels Airlines and Mastercard enrich the offer further, including preferential access to the airline’s renovated lounges and a lineup of special experiences through Mastercard Travel Rewards, Priceless, Live Nation, Priority Pass and Mastercard Travel Experiences.
For Brussels Airlines, the card extends the brand’s relationship with its business customers and underlines a commitment to adding value beyond the flight.
The airline notes that existing customers have already collected more than 68 million miles and express particularly strong satisfaction with the insurance package and travel benefits. The company expects the Navigator card to meet the evolving needs of independent professionals who want both flexibility and meaningful rewards.
Beobank highlights that the goal is to simplify life for self-employed individuals and business owners. The Navigator card is designed as a complete financial tool rather than just a payment method, supporting professionals with features that make their transactions safer and their purchases more rewarding.
Mastercard’s contribution centers on worldwide acceptance and a set of exclusive benefits that transform routine business spending into an elevated experience. From entertainment access to travel perks and enhanced online purchase protection, the card aims to support entrepreneurs wherever their work takes them.
As Belgium’s first miles card tailored specifically for the self-employed, Navigator enters a space that has long lacked targeted solutions. By merging loyalty rewards, security features and global flexibility into a single product, it signals a shift in how financial institutions and travel partners are serving the growing independent workforce.
