SBI Cards & Payment Services Ltd., previously known as SBI Cards, is a payment solutions provider in India. SBI Card was launched in October 1998 by the State Bank of India, India's largest bank, and GE Capital.

SBI Card is headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana/Delhi NCR and have branches in over 100 cities across India.[4] For the financial year ending March 31, 2016, SBI Card recorded a net profit of ₹2.71 billion and a profit before tax of about ₹4.38 billion.[5]
