In a significant move to empower women and promote sustainable banking practices, the State Bank of India (SBI) has introduced the ‘Nari Shakti’ Platinum Debit Card. This RuPay-powered card is exclusively designed for women and is notably the first SBI debit card made entirely from 100% recycled plastic.
Key Features of the ‘Nari Shakti’ Platinum Debit Card:
-
Eco-Friendly Design: Aligning with environmental sustainability, the card is crafted from recycled materials, reflecting SBI’s commitment to green initiatives.
-
Comprehensive Benefits: Cardholders can enjoy a plethora of advantages across various sectors, including:

The launch of this debit card is part of SBI’s broader initiative to support women’s financial independence. Alongside the ‘Nari Shakti’ card, SBI has also unveiled ‘Asmita,’ a collateral-free digital loan product aimed at women entrepreneurs. This initiative seeks to provide faster and easier financing options to women-led Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a digital and self-initiated process.
