Fifth Third understands that consumers want simplicity in their financial lives. So today Fifth Third is introducing two new credit card products, TRIOSM and Truly SimpleSM, that are easy for consumers to understand, use, and maximize their benefits.

TRIO makes it easy to earn more rewards. Customers are automatically enrolled to earn rewards for every dollar they spend, including earning additional rewards at restaurants and gas stations, grocery stores and drug stores - the places people tend to visit most often. A recent NerdWallet survey shows that almost one-third of rewards credit card holders don’t understand how they earn or redeem their rewards.

“Understanding rewards programs should be simple,” Jimm Bell, Director of Consumer and Small Business Payments for Fifth Third Bancorp, said. “Customers don’t want to stand at a register trying to remember which card they should use based on rotating categories that change every month. They want a single card that earns great rewards where they tend to spend most. That’s why we created TRIO.”

Rewards can be redeemed for cash back as a statement credit, deposited into a Fifth Third checking or savings account, or even to pay down a Fifth Third loan or mortgage.1

TRIO features include:

• 3% cash back rewards for every $1 spent at restaurants and 2% cash back rewards for every $1 spent on gas, and at grocery stores and drug stores, up to $1,500 spend per quarter in these combined purchase categories.1
• Unlimited 1% cash back rewards for every $1 spent on all other purchases.1
• $100 bonus when a new cardholder spends $1,000 in the first 90 days from account opening.2
• No international transaction fees on purchases.3
• No annual fee.3

For consumers looking for a lower rate on their cards for large purchases or for paying down balances, the Bank now offers the Truly Simple Credit Card.

Truly Simple features include:

• 0% introductory offer on purchases and balance transfers for 15 billing cycles from account opening. After that, your variable APR will be 12.24% to 23.24%, based upon your creditworthiness.4
• No annual fee.4

“Consumer habits show that people don’t want to switch cards all the time,” Bell said. “The Truly Simple Credit Card offers a competitive rate and no surprise fees.”
