SBI Student Plus Advantage Credit Card

Purpose-built for students studying on an SBI education loan, this card needs no independent income and can alternatively be secured with a fixed deposit. It's a genuinely no-frills product — no joining or annual fee, 1 reward point per ₹100 spent, and an EMI conversion option — designed purely to give students a starter card and credit history.

    • + Available directly against an existing SBI education loan, without separate income proof

    • + Flexipay lets purchases over ₹2,500 convert to 6/12/24-month EMIs

    Cons
