SBM Bank India and ZET Launch FD-Backed Credit Card
Imagine you want a credit card but have never had one before, or haven't used credit much.
The SBM ZET Credit Card helps with this.
It works like this: you put money in a special savings account (a fixed deposit) at SBM Bank, and you get a credit card linked to that account.
You can use up to 90% of the money you put in the account as your credit limit.
You also earn interest on your fixed deposit, up to 7% per year.
The card is designed for people new to credit, and you can apply through the ZET app.
You earn rewards for using the card, like for phone recharges.
By using the card and paying your bills on time, you can improve your credit score.
ZET and SBM Bank India have launched the SBM ZET Credit Card, a fixed deposit (FD)-backed credit card.
The card aims to help individuals with no or limited credit history to build a strong credit score.
Applicants do not need an existing credit history, income proof, or a high credit score.
Customers can secure the card by opening a fixed deposit with SBM Bank, starting from ₹5,000.
The card includes in-app rewards on services and ZET plans to introduce UPI-specific rewards.
