WhatsApp connect for convenience

In a bid to enhance customer experience, SBI Cards has introduced a WhatsApp Connect service.

“Ask ILA”: SBI’s interactive live assistant

This is another recently developed way of reaching out to the SBI Cards team for resolutions. ‘Ask ILA’ is the SBI Card interactive assistant through which you can get facilities such as Login, Balance Transfer, EMI details, Flexipay, Spend Analyser, Statement, Bill Pay and Recharge etc.

Reach out via the official email-id

By mailing your queries to this address, as shared on the official website of SBI Cards, you can get a quick and seamless resolution and even escalate issues to higher authorities if no resolution has been provided through other channels.

Timing and availability

The customer care team is available from 8 am to 8 pm, Monday to Saturday. The 24/7 helpline remains the best option for urgent matters outside these hours.

Hence, to conclude, SBI's customer care for credit card services is robust, ever-evolving, and accessible through various channels. It ensures that cardholders can easily resolve their issues and receive support when needed.

It is also always prudent to cross-check numbers, details, email ids, timings, etc, through the official website of SBI Cards before initiating contact, as the numbers, email details and timings of availability can change as per the terms and conditions of SBI cards. These simple points can go a long way in helping you find resolutions to your SBI credit card issues.
