Freo Pay (SBM Bank India)
Freo Pay is less a traditional credit card and more an app-based, UPI-linked credit line from the Freo neobank (issued via SBM Bank India), aimed at users with thin credit files who need small-ticket, short-tenure credit for everyday UPI spends rather than a full revolving credit card. It's a starter product for building credit history, not a rewards-maximizing instrument.
