Every Tap Pays Back for Metro Riders: WMATA and FutureCard Partnership Delivers New Metro Rewards in the DMV

FutureCard and WMATA announce Transit Tuesdays—with special perks for riding Metro every second Tuesday of the month.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Future, the fintech company behind the FutureCard Visa® Debit Card, is proud to announce new rewards for riders in partnership with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro). The partnership supports the launch of Tap. Ride. Go., Metro's new contactless fare payment system. As part of the collaboration, FutureCard offers 5% cashback and $5 frequent rider bonuses to Metro riders when paying with FutureCard at Metrorail station faregates, offering a seamless and rewarding way to travel across the region.^1,2

Riders simply tap their FutureCard at faregates to enter and exit the Metro system and automatically benefit from 5% cashback and a $5 bonus when they ride ten times in a week. FutureCard will now offer additional perks on Transit Tuesdays, a new initiative celebrating ridership in the DMV every second Tuesday of the month. Each Transit Tuesday, riders enjoy special perks like free rides (up to $6.75) on the Metro.¹

"We're excited to partner with Metro to roll out the red carpet for riders and find new ways to reward Metro riders on Transit Tuesday," said Jean-Louis Warnholz, Future's CEO & Co-founder. "Every Metro tap pays back in more ways than one - it's cash back in my pocket after each ride, but also less traffic on our streets and cleaner air for our kids."

Metro's Tap. Ride. Go. program modernizes the rider experience by allowing contactless credit and debit cards, mobile wallets, and smartwatches to serve as fare media. The initiative is designed to improve accessibility, reduce friction for occasional riders and tourists, and align Metro with global standards for open-loop transit payments.

FutureCard is part of Visa's Fintech Fast Track Program, designed to bring new payments solutions to market.
