Standard Chartered Credit Card Balance Transfer

On 30 April 2026, Standard Chartered announced that it is selling up to 4.5 lakh of its approximately 6.4 lakh Indian credit cards to Federal Bank. This includes 75% of the cards in the top eight cities with completion expected within 2026. Any outstanding balance will now be repayable to Federal Bank.

The credit card account, credit limit, reward points (which have the same value and expiry), as well as the annual fee will move across without fresh KYC required. Credit cards which were closed are excluded. Each active Standard Chartered credit card will map to a Federal Bank card.

A new Federal Bank credit card will be delivered within 7–10 days with a new benefit set. Customers can accept by sending ACCEPT to 9702363363 or by continuing to use the card after the notified date but declining means no new credit card will be issued and the old limit, points, and benefits will end. Paying outstanding dues does not qualify as consent for a new credit card.
