According to local media reports, the bank plans to issue two million millennial cards in the next five years. It aims to increase the figure to ten million in another five years.

Mastercard president of South Asia division Porush Singh said: “Mastercard combines the best of safety standards with a seamless user experience and is increasingly transforming into a lifestyle and experience focused brand, which millennials value.

“Mastercard is delighted to partner with HDFC Bank for the launch of an exclusive range of cards targeting this segment.”

Last month, HDFC Bank launched a credit card for small traders and rural entrepreneurs. The card was launched in collaboration with Government of India special purpose vehicle (SPV) Common Services Centres (CSCs).
