Most Important Terms and Conditions (MITC)
Dear Customer - Please note the MITC is subject to revision.
The Most Important Terms and Conditions (MITC) are to be read and understood in conjunction with the SBM Magnet Credit Card Member Terms and Conditions (Card Member T&Cs) as communicated on www.sbmbank.co.in.
SBM Magnet Credit card will be an ‘International’ credit card (“Card” or “Credit Card”) valid for usage across the globe. It is issued by SBM Bank (India) Ltd (“SBM Bank”). It is available on Rupay / Visa, or any other network as chosen by the Bank.
SBM Magnet Credit Card
The SBM Magnet Credit Card is a Credit Card issued by the Bank against a fixed deposit (“FD”) created and maintained by the person who wishes to apply for the Card with the Bank.
In order to be eligible for availing the SBM Magnet Credit Card, you shall be required to create and maintain a fixed deposit of minimum Five Thousand (5,000) with the Bank through the Magnet mobile app. Only 1 (one) SBM Magnet Credit Card shall be issued at any given point to an applicant.
The credit limit on the SBM Magnet Credit Card shall be 90 percent of the fixed deposit amount. The said Credit Limit may be subject to change at the sole discretion of the Bank from time to time.
You shall be required to create the fixed deposit in the manner specified and upon execution of the relevant documents as specified by the Bank from time to time. The fixed deposit so created with the Bank shall be on auto renewal mode. By applying for the SBM Magnet Credit Card and agreeing to the Terms contained herein, you hereby give your consent for the fixed deposit to be auto renewed and reinvested at the end of its tenure for a similar tenure as was booked at the start of the fixed deposit. In the event of closure of the SBM Magnet Credit Card by you/ Bank, the fixed deposit(s) linked to the SBM Magnet Credit Card shall also be closed. Post the deduction of total outstanding, you get settlement of FD amount including interest earned for the tenure of closure to the source/ savings account number.
Upon issuance of the SBM Magnet Credit Card, in addition to the Bank’s right of general lien and set-off, the Bank shall mark a lien on the entire fixed deposit amount deposited by you, excluding interest earned by you, until the termination of the SBM Magnet Credit Card after paying off the outstanding dues or maturity of the fixed deposit, as the case may be. The SBM Magnet Credit Card shall be activated and be available for use by you only once the lien has been marked on the fixed deposit created by you.
In case of the SBM Magnet Credit Card, the whole of the outstanding balance on the Card Account, together with the amount of any outstanding SBM Magnet Credit Card transactions along with interest and all other cost, charges as mentioned hereunder, effected but not yet charged to the Card Account during the usage of the SBM Magnet Credit Card by you will be secured by way of pledge/hypothecation/lien of such securities/fixed or term deposits/such other assets as approved by Bank and standing solely in your name, in the form and manner as prescribed by Bank.
The prevailing rate of interest applicable at the time of auto-renewal of the fixed deposit shall be applicable on the linked fixed deposit amount.
In case the fixed deposit is liquidated prior to the completion of its tenure, tenure- based penalty shall be charged at 1% (one) percent of interest accrued on the fixed deposit from the date of creation of fixed deposit till date of liquidation of fixed
deposit.
Sample Illustration: Consider that a FD of ₹10,000 is booked for 12 months at the interest rate of 6%. User decides to break it at the end of 6 months. During the time of booking FD, the interest rate for 6 months tenure was 5%. So, the pay-out will be done at an effective interest rate of 4% (5% - 1% penalty).
Interest amount will be ₹10,000*(4/100) *(6/12) = ₹2,00. Payout amount will be
= ₹10,000 + ₹2,00 = ₹10,200
The fixed deposits which are in the name of a single individual shall be eligible for SBM Magnet Credit Card and the fixed deposit must be opened through the Magnet mobile app. Nomination facilities shall be available for the fixed deposit facility.
In the event of termination/withdrawal/cancellation of the fixed deposit or if you fail to pay the amount outstanding on the SBM Magnet Credit Card within 60 (sixty) days from the due date as mentioned in the Card Statement, or in case of termination of the fixed deposit upon your demise, the Bank shall be entitled forthwith to liquidate the entire fixed deposit amount including the interest accrued and set-off such amount against the outstanding amount payable to Bank under the SBM Magnet Credit Card. Any balance remaining after the above referred deduction shall be refunded to you and the pending outstanding amount will have to be paid immediately. In case of your unfortunate demise, the SBM Magnet Credit Card shall stand terminated. Nominees to respective FD(s) will get settlement post deduction of total outstanding amount. Further, in case of non-payment of dues, the Bank shall report the SBM Magnet Credit Card held by you as delinquent to the Credit Information Companies (CICs), authorized by the RBI and such reporting shall affect your credit score adversely.

The billing statement will be dispatched on a monthly basis to you by e-mail to your registered email ID with the bank. In case of any help needed, you may call Bank’s helpline no. at 1800-103-3817/ write to customer care at customercare@sbmbank.co.in / visit Bank at: SBM Bank (India) Ltd. 101, Raheja Centre First Floor, Free Press Journal Marg, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400021,Maharashtra.
Without prejudice to the liability of the Card Member to immediately pay all charges incurred, the Card Member may exercise the option to pay only the Minimum Amount Due (MAD) indicated in the statement by the due date.
The Minimum Amount Due shall be 5% of the outstanding amount.
SBM Bank Credit Cards offer the Card-member the facility of revolving credit. The Cardmember may choose to pay only the Minimum Amount Due printed on the statement. The balance outstanding can be carried forward to subsequent statements. The Cardmember can also choose to pay the Total Amount Due or any part of the amount above the Minimum Amount Due. Such payment should be made before the Payment Due Date. Clear funds need to be credited to SBM Bank Card account on or before payment due date to avoid Late Payment Charges.
In case of any repayment through installments, the installment amount due during the statement period will be added to the Minimum Amount Due. If the total outstanding is more than the credit or cash limit, then the amount by which the credit or cash limit has been exceeded will also be included in the Minimum Amount Due. Minimum
Amount Due shall also include unpaid Minimum Amount Due of the previous statements, if any. Interest will be charged if the Total Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date even if the Minimum Amount Due has been paid.
If you spend 5,000 INR and pay back exactly the Minimum Amount Due (subject to a minimum payment of 100 INR) every month, it will take you up to 6 years and 6 months to pay back the total amount. We therefore suggest that whenever your cash flows allow, pay back an amount substantially more than your Minimum Amount Due.
No merchant refund/cashback/credit due to transactions converted to EMI / cancelled transactions / reversals / promotional cashback will be considered as a payment towards the outstanding of the Card. EMI transactions and cash transactions will not be eligible for Reward Points. Once a transaction has been converted into EMI, it will not be eligible for reward points even if it is reversed/ written off at a later date. In case Card member makes an excess payment compared to the outstanding of the Card, there will be credit balance in the Card account. This will be adjusted against the subsequent transactions on the Card. However, no interest can be claimed on this excess credit amount.
Payments towards the Card Account may be made in any of the following ways and Customers can login into the Magnet Mobile app and make payments toward Credit Card outstanding use.
