Non-bank lender Mahindra Finance on Monday announced that it will be launching a co-branded credit card with RBL Bank. Mahindra Finance said it has received the RBI nod for launching the offering. Managing Director and chief executive Raul Rebello said the offering will be designed to help meet its customers' aspirational needs. The announcement comes amid heightened concerns about the credit card portfolios, and also regulatory attempts to disincentivise growth in such riskier assets. A Mahindra group entity has 3.53 per cent "strategic" stake in RBL Bank which was bought for Rs 417 crore, while RBL Bank is attempting to decrease its reliance on Bajaj Finance to distribute credit cards. Rebello said this will be a maiden co-branded credit card offering for Mahindra Finance and that there are significant synergies between the company and the bank. "Our aim is to provide a one-stop solution that offers unmatched benefits across a wide range of categories," RBL Bank's executive dire

Asset quality ratios deteriorated during the quarter as slippages were high in the credit cards and microfinance segments.
The net interest income (NII) of the bank rose by 9 per cent in the reporting quarter to Rs 1,615 crore from Rs 1,475 crore
RBL Bank on Saturday reported a 24 per cent decline in net profit in the September quarter to Rs 223 crore on asset quality challenges emanating from credit card and microlending books. The private sector lender had reported a post-tax net profit of Rs 294 crore in the year-ago period, and Rs 372 crore in the preceding June quarter. RBL Bank Chief Executive and Managing Director R Subramaniakumar told reporters that the stress in the microfinance book is due to industry-wide issues, but the same on the credit-card front, where the regulator has been flagging risks for the industry, is on account of internal aspects. A senior bank official said the lender expects the challenges on credit cards that are arising out of a transition, to take loan collections in-house from being outsourced to a partner earlier, will settle by end of the third quarter, but the same on microlending may persist longer. The fresh slippages nearly doubled to Rs 1,026 crore during the quarter, and nearly 70 p

Private sector lender RBL Bank is aiming to grow its credit card portfolio "moderately" and focus on other aspects like cross-selling to customers, a senior official has said. If the industry grows at 20-25 per cent, the lender would like to increase its credit card outstanding by up to 15 per cent, its business head for credit cards Bikram Yadav said. "We would grow moderately in this segment, and we'll focus on internal unit economics and customer engagements and deeper cross-sell with them," Yadav added. Yadav, who was speaking after the launch of a dedicated offering in association with the largest oil marketing company Indian Oil Corporation, christened 'Xtra Credit Card', added that the other factors are more important than growth for the bank and its focus is on "reasonable" returns on the capital it deploys. It can be noted that the credit card segment has been under the spotlight because of the RBI's discomfort around the riskier unsecured segment growing fast. "The RBI i
