SatnChart - Focus on Value Addition

[cardbhai]

StanChart which was one of the earliest credit card players in the Indian market has gone slow and focused on building quality customers rather than banking on numbers. Here is what its Chief of Credit Cards - Shyam Srinivas has to say,

• Build on existing relationship. Look for sustainable and slower growth for over 1.4 mn card holders
• Remained stable when the number of credit cards were pruned in India.
• Customer Consolidation - For example, a customer who have had 4 cards is now having just one or two because it is becoming unmanageable for him
• Why Personal Loans are Cheaper than Credit Cards - Personal Loan is a Term Loan while Credit Card is a Revolving Credit. The latter is a sudden demand credit. Additionally, there is cost of servicing, collection and finally the troubled recovery
• Role of Credit Bureaus - They give you the complete picture / indebtedness of the customer and his spending and borrowing pattern. The new growth that will happen will be a lot more disciplined and of better quality

Mr. Bansal - Union Bank's GM for Credit Card division said,

Banks have tightened their due diligence norms for issuing credit cards. Awareness about Debit cards has increased significantly with the spread of ATM networks. Moreover, customers don't want to live beyond their means and are appreciating Debit card usage.
