SBM Magnet Credit Card

The SBM Magnet Credit Card is a secured credit card issued by SBM Bank in partnership with Zetapp, designed especially for people who don’t have a credit history or income proof. To get started, you simply need to open a fixed deposit (FD) of Rs. 5,000 with SBM Bank through the Magnet mobile app. This card is backed by your FD, meaning your credit limit is usually a percentage of the amount you’ve deposited. Even while using the card, your deposit keeps earning interest, giving you the dual benefit of spending flexibility and savings growth.

What makes this card appealing is that it's lifetime free, with zero joining or annual fees. It’s available on Rupay, Visa, or any other card network selected by SBM Bank. You can use it just like any regular credit card, but with the added benefit of having no risk of falling into debt, as your FD acts as security. This makes it a smart choice for anyone looking to build or improve their credit score safely, especially for first-time credit card users or those with a low credit profile.
