How equipped is Hylobiz to implement RBI’s credit card directions?
Hylobiz is equipped to implement the RBI’s credit card rules effective from July 1, 2022
Many fintech companies offer credit card-like products and get into an arrangement with Issuers to offer co-branded credit cards.
Why do some fintech companies assume the new RBI rules might pose threat to their business?
The Reserve Bank of India on 21st April 2022, has issued new guidelines (known as Credit Card and Debit Card- Issuance and Conduct) for credit and debit cards effective from 1st July 2022.
Credit card rules might be of concern to some fintech companies.
- Only banks like SCBs and RRBs with a net worth of Rs 100 crore can issue credit cards to customers who have written consent and should mention every charge detail on the key fact statement.
- Banks can issue co-branded credit cards and there is no need to seek permission from RBI, but the co-branding partners cannot claim the card as issued by them but are limited to marketing and distributions.
- Banks are not allowed to share the customer transaction data with their cobranded card partners.
- NBFCs cannot do credit card businesses without the nod of RBI. NBFCs should have a net-owned fund of INR 100 crore to take explicit permission from RBI in this regard.
- The card limit sanctioned to the cardholder should not be breached in any case.
Reasons for concern.
- Although many top fintech companies treat customer data security as a top priority, they use transactional data with partner banks. These data are analyzed by fintech to offer personalized solutions for customers. RBI’s directions prohibiting transactional data access for customer sourcing partners might put Fintechs at a loss.
- The rising credit card debt trap due to misselling by unregulated fintech companies is a serious concern. Since the card issuers such as banks and NBFCs, can issue cards with prior permissions from RBI, many cards focused fintech firms would now tend to seek NBFC licenses to stay in business.
