SBI Cards
Opportunities & Risk
Strength
• Strong Distribution Channel of SBI Cards
• Heavy Customer base of SBI
• Partnering with various companies for diverse range of cards like IOCL, Croma, IRCTC, Ola etc.
Weakness
• SBI cards and Bank of Baroda are the only NBFCs in this space, while its competitors (HDFC , ICIC and Axis) are banks, and cost of
borrowing for NBFC is higher.
• Asset quality is a weak point for SBIC. Its aggressive push ahead of its IPO has resulted in SBIC’s new customers coming from
channels outside the captive bank. While 80 % of HDFC Bank and 96 % of Axis Bank credit cardholders are customers of the bank,
for SBIC it is only 48 %.
• NPA stands at 2.3 % as compared to 1.8 % for the industry.
Opportunity:
• Boom of ecommerce in India that gives ample EMI option to buyers which is a convenient model.
• The vision of financial inclusion and Digital India of the central government
Risk:
• Competition from Existing players from HDFC, Axis and ICICI banks. These may get themselves listed in near future at comparatively
fair valuation compared to SBIC
• Keeping in view the volume base, the absolute amount of credit risk is higher
• Credit card companies have impact on business during economy slowdowns
