MakeMyTrip’s fintech arm, TripMoney partners with SBM Bank India to launch global credit card

MakeMyTrip’s fintech arm, TripMoney and SBM Bank India have joined hands to launch a rupee-denominated secure credit card, TripMoney Global Card. This credit card is highly secure, offers various advanced money management features and most importantly, relieves overseas travellers from paying mark-up on forex conversions and more, according to a company statement.

Key features

This secured credit card requires customers to load money in INR as security and also track balances in INR. In addition, the card carries no hidden charges such as currency exchange conversion across POS, ATMs, and eCommerce websites - offering transparency to travellers.

Cardholders are also entitled to offers on flights, hotels and holidays, along with a chance to avail discounts of up to Rs 70,000 on MakeMyTrip and Goibibo. Complimentary membership of the invite-only loyalty programs of both the brands, MMT Black and GoTribe is also extended as an add-on to these cardholders.
