For SBI PO-RRBs-IBPS PO/ Clerk

Introduction:

On 28th March, 2017 State Bank of India (SBI) was introduced a new Credit Card named “Unnati” in New Delhi by Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Power, Coal, New and Renewable Energy and Mines Piyush Goyal. ‘Unnati’ means ‘Progress’. SBI has made an offer to issue credit cards to all of its account holders who have a minimum account balance of Rs.20000 without considering their credit history.

State Bank of India’s (SBI’s) Unnati Credit Card is a credit card offered those SBI customers who have a minimum account balance of Rs. 25,000 in their accounts. The annual fee of Rs. 499 is waived off for the first four years.

SBI felt the need to encourage the adoption of credit cards culture and facilitation of expansion in the digitalized payments in tune with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative of “Cashless” India as the nation progresses on the path to digitization. The idea is thus to spread credit inclusion among the masses. This move of SBI Card is a big step forward in that direction.
