Three steps shape the story
On September 30, 2026, SBI Cards hosted a virtual investor meeting attended by 17 institutional investors. ScanX reported that the session, organized by Nuvama, ran for one hour and covered information already in the public domain.

What does the launch mean for growth?
The card links SBI Card to Eternal's Zomato, Blinkit, District and Bistro platforms while using digital onboarding.
