However, there are many fees and charges that you should know before applying for an SBI credit card. As per the rules, the SBI Card is required to communicate details related to fees and charges to the customer when they apply for the card.
Following are the fees and charges levied on the SBI Credit Card:
Annual fees
The annual fee is a one-time charge. Customers have to pay a certain amount as an annual fee to the SBICPSL (State Bank of India Cards and Payment Services Limited) for using the SBI Credit Card. The annual fee will be charged directly to the cardholder account and will reflect in the card statement of the month.
Renewal fees
The renewal fee is charged every year. This may vary from one customer to another and for different card variants.
Cash Payment Fees
SBI cardholders can pay their dues at select branches of the State Bank of India (SBI) by paying a service fee of Rs 250+ applicable taxes. For this, they have to mention their credit card number and amount in pay-in-slip and deposit the same at the branch counter. After depositing the payment, the cardholders will be provided with an acknowledgement receipt.
However, no fee is applicable for the KVB SBI Cardholders paying their dues at select branches of Karur Vysya Bank (KVB).
