ICICI Bank and Amazon Pay today announced the ‘Amazon Pay ICICI Bank‘ credit cards surpassed two million customers. As per the official communiqué, the card has become the fastest co-branded credit card to cross this milestone in the country.
Amazon Pay and ICICI Bank introduced the card, powered by Visa, in October 2018. The card also holds the record of being the fastest co-branded credit card in India to cross the milestone of one million issuances in October last year. Thereafter, the card has on-boarded another one million customers in the last nine months, with over 80% of new customers availing the card completely digitally, without any physical interaction.
Sudipta Roy, Head – Unsecured Assets, ICICI Bank said, “The Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card has received exciting response from customers across the country. The best-in-industry rewards, seamless access to credit and the easy on-boarding process are the key contributors of this excitement. With the introduction of ‘Video KYC’ in June 2020, many new-to-bank customers applied for the card from various parts of the country, which significantly boosted the user base. In October last year, the card became the fastest co-branded credit card in India to cross the milestone of one million issuances. It has now become the fastest co-branded credit card to cross two million issuances, with the last one million cards issued in less than a year.
