Canara Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card — Canara Bank credit card

Canara Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card

Canara Bank Visa Platinum is the lowest card in Canara's own Visa range to include airport lounge access, with 2 domestic visits a quarter at no fee. Rewards are the standard Canara 2 points per ₹100 (about 0.5%), and the 3% forex markup is modest. There is no joining or annual fee, but Canara charges ₹200 if you spend less than ₹50,000 in a card year, so it suits regular spenders who want free lounge visits.
