The launch comes in alignment with the Bank's commitment to India's One Nation, One Card vision.
The Bank has introduced NCMC enabled debit card for its savings account customers and NCMC enabled pre-paid card for the wallet customers. Both cards are being made from eco-friendly e-PVC material, which is certified for its environmental sustainability.
