OneCard (Federal Bank)
OneCard was the card that popularized the numberless-metal, app-only credit card in India, and its Federal Bank variant remains a strong lifetime-free option for people who want a genuinely modern app experience over a traditional bank's clunky net banking portal. It auto-detects your top 2 spend categories each month and rewards them at 5X, which suits people with variable spending patterns better than a card with fixed bonus categories.
