The pre-qualified credit card from the publicly traded Punjab National Bank (PNB) includes a number of benefits, including insurance protection. Additionally, it has added a new feature that enables quick overdrafts on fixed deposits on PNB One with just one OTP (one-time password).

Customers with salary accounts will have access to the pre-qualified credit card facility. According to a release, they would be able to apply via the website, Internet Banking Service (IBS), or the mobile banking app PNB One. The bank will make this service available through the RuPay and Visa payment gateways.

Customers may apply for loans without going to a bank branch, the company claimed, and applications made through online services like PNB One qualify for a 0.25 percent interest rate discount.

Atul Kumar Goel, managing director and chief executive officer of PNB, stated, “I am pleased to announce yet another step towards enabling quick and hassle-free services as we progress towards developing a digitally sound financial environment. The application process for PNB’s new pre-qualified credit card service is entirely digital, consent-based, and paperless.”
