The SBI credit card balance transfer feature can help you save on the interest on multiple cards. SBI offers two balance transfer plans you can choose from:
The Encash feature on SBI cards allows you quick access to funds when you need it the most. It is a pre-approved facility that is offered to selected cardholders. You can apply for a loan amount that is within or over your existing credit limit. If you are eligible, the amount will be transferred to your State Bank of India account within 48 working hours. Transfer of funds will be done through National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT).
Encash attracts an interest rate as well as a processing fee. You can contact the bank for the applicable rate of interest. You have to pay a one-time processing fee of 2% of the amount or Rs.499, whichever is higher. The processing fee will not exceed Rs.3,000.
SBI offers various avenues to help you pay your SBI credit card bill on time. Based on your convenience, you can choose to pay your bill online or in person.
You can use any of the following methods to pay your credit card bill online.
If you have any queries about your card, you can contact SBI credit card customer care for assistance. You can contact the bank through any one of the following ways.
In addition to Reward Points and value back, you can enjoy a range of offers on your SBI card. From promotions on travel to shopping, get exclusive discounts and deals with your credit card.
Most SBI cards allow you to earn Shop-and-Smile Reward Points which have a validity of 2 years. Use your card to make purchases to earn points on each transaction. It is important to keep in mind the specific spend categories for which you can earn maximum Reward Points.
Once you have accumulated the points, you can redeem them for exclusive gifts, shopping vouchers, and more. Points redemption can be done on the SBI website or through the mobile app. Sign in with your login information and redeem your points for any of the products in the catalogue.
You can call the SBI card helpline 1860 180 1290 or 39 02 02 02 with your local STD code or write to them to redeem your points. Your gift will be delivered to the registered address.
Yes, SBI Card has an exclusive with the same name 'SBI Card' available on both Android and iOS platforms. Once you download the app, you can register and access your credit card account details, raise card related requests, perform transactions, and place requests for other SBI products, etc.
Not exactly. But there are a few SBI credit cards that would allow you to pay your card outstanding using the reward points. For instance, SBI Card Prime, SBI Card Elite, and SBI SimplySAVE Advantage allow you to redeem your reward points against the card outstanding. On all these cards, you can redeem Rs.1 for every four reward points.
The minimum salary to apply for an SBI credit card varies for each card. The more premium the card is, the higher would be the salary requirement.
Though SBI does not disclose the income required to apply for a card on its website, from its ‘Simplyfier’ tool we can figure out that the minimum gross annual income required is Rs.1 lakh, provided you don’t have any other monthly deductions from your salary. Otherwise, it would be a minimum of Rs.2 lakh p.a.
Once you submit your SBI credit card application along with the required documents, it will take up to 21 days for the bank to process the application. If there are any missing documents and other issues with the application, it might take even longer.
Meanwhile, you can track your credit card application status using the SBI’s ‘Track Application’ feature available on www.sbicard.com/en/eapply.page#track-retrieve-form.
Yes, you can take a cash advance with your credit card. You can withdraw a maximum of Rs.15,000 per day with your card. The overall cap on cash withdrawal is 80% of your total SBI credit Limit. You need to remember that taking cash advance will incur a finance charge of up to 3.35% per month.
Before you go abroad, you need to activate your card for international transactions. Log in to your SBI account to activate the international credit limit on your card. The chatbot ELA can also help you with the activation.
Foreign currency transactions incur a mark-up fee of 3.5% in addition to applicable taxes. It is important to remember that making purchases with Indian rupee while travelling abroad will incur higher costs. It is better to use the currency of the country you are travelling to.
Although you can earn Reward Points on most of your purchases, there are certain transactions that are not eligible to earn points. These include balance transfers, cash advances, disputed transactions, finance charges, and others.
You need to notify the bank immediately if your card is lost or stolen. The bank will block your card for protection against fraudulent transactions.
You can call or write to SBI or call their card helpline if you want to cancel or close your card. Once you make a request for account closure, the bank will terminate your account. In addition, any add-on cards associated with your account will also be terminated. Remember that your account will be closed only if you have paid off all your dues. You will have to clear any outstanding amount before your request for closure is accepted.
