As a lifestyle bank, we believe in offering every Indian a product that is convenient to use, highly rewarding and customised for their needs,” commented Parag Rao, Country Head, Payment Solutions and Marketing, HDFC Bank, during the launch.

“This card has been tailored to allow customers to accrue accelerated reward points not only on IndiGo flights but also on all types of spends such as shopping, dining, and groceries. These points can be redeemed for IndiGo flight tickets and other travel benefits,” he added.

Taking pride in more than 14 million active card users, HDFC Bank currently stands as the largest credit card issuer in the country. According to the bank, their goal is now to sell one million Ka-ching cards over the next three years.
