Standard Chartered DigiSmart Credit Card - Review


I have written a couple of articles in the past on various Standard Chartered Credit Cards but not on a very positive note. StanChart cards have successfully disappointed many cardholders with its not so attractive credit card perks. But its new launch, 'DigiSmart Credit Card' looks different. It carries some crisp benefits that are likely to be welcomed by most of the people.

DigiSmart credit card will not fetch you any reward points on any of the transactions made on the card. However, it offers discounts on specific merchants that are good enough to compensate for the exclusion of RPs. Although the official SC website clearly mentions that the merchants on the card can be changed, replaced or removed by SCB from time to time; the current merchant list is a delightful combination that perfectly covers one's clothing and fashion needs, air travels & accommodations, road commutes, dining, grocery requirements, and entertainment.

Standard Chartered DigiSmart Credit Card offers excellent cashback/discounts on the following merchants:

Card fee:

Primary Card: INR 49 per month, waived on monthly spends of INR 5000 in the previous calendar month
Supplementary Card: INR 49 per month, waived on monthly spends of INR 5000 in the previous calendar month


The annual fee for both the cards (Primary + Supplementary) aggregates to 1176 INR excluding taxes but is evenly distributed every month; hence, it won't pinch your pocket. Moreover, if you do not opt for any supplementary card; the fee gets half by default. This is something new in Indian credit cards space, and I feel it's a great feature to have. Also, the monthly fee gets waived off if the cardholder spends as low as INR 5000 in the preceding month. Considering the cashback and discount that this plastic offers; it's definitely an awesome credit card to have.
