Developments at SBI

In October 2019, SBI launched an EMI facility on its debit card that enables its accountholders to shop for consumer durables and pay the money in instalments.

Last month, SBI subsidiary SBI Cards tapped Comviva’s host card emulation (HCE) technology to accelerate the adoption of SBI Card Pay service.

Earlier this month, SBI and National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) reportedly demanded equal treatment of RuPay debit card with Visa and Mastercard over zero merchant discount rate (MDR).
