Open SBM Bank Savings Account Online and get a SBM bank Visa Signature Debit Card. It is a zero balance account with no MAB and free debit card as well.

Benefits of the Card:
  • Domestic Lounge Access ( 3 times per quarter, all the visa supported lounges are eligible).
  • 2 International Lounge Access through LoungeKey(Currently, this benefit is not available as RBI restricted International remittances for SBM Bank Debit Cards, hence, international lounge access is not available, This will not work as international transactions won't work with debit card).
  • Free Golf (https://teepassindia.thriwe.com/):
    • 4 complimentary rounds of green fees per quarter
    • 12 complimentary golf lessons per calendar year Screenshot 2023-04-21 at 9.34.03 AM.png

How to Open Account Online:
  • Open https://www.sbmbank.co.in/# and in top right, Open Savings Account button.
  • Register and fill all the details, there will be Video KYC, after that your account will be opened.
  • Once you got the card, you need to set your card PIN and manage card usage(Enable Ecom, POS etc) through SBM Net Banking or SBM Mobile Banking(Because their ATM presence is very low and offline branches are very less)

I applied and got my card in 5 days.
 
I do have Niyo Global, they did not reject my application.
I applied for an account. After vkyc and form fill up, after few hours I received mail of rejection.

No reason was mentioned. I don't know what's wrong. Should I ask? I do have sbm niyo global.

As this is "private wealth" account, can low salary be the reason? Because salary, occupation etc was asked before.

If existing account is the reason, I think they should reject the application before vkyc after entering PAN, like other banks do for existing customers.

I am existing customer of niyo global , still my account got opened and received the card within 5 days.
 
Does anyone is able to create LoungeKey Account for International Lounge Access digitally from SBM Visa Signature DC which comes under Private Wealth / 5 Lakhs IF account.

It showing me error:
"Please enter a valid payment card number associated with LoungeKey"

I was able to create account for Golf on Teapass.thrive but not on LoungeKey
I was facing the same error when registering for LoungeKey. Then I realised the debit was not activated since I haven't used it even once.
After I used it for an online transaction, I tried to register with LoungeKey again and it worked this time.

If you are able to use the card for online transactions, make sure to enable international transactions. All I did was set spending limits, used the card for online transaction, enabled international transactions and registered on LoungeKey SBM India website. Also make sure you have at least Rs. 85/- as it will charge $1 which will be reversed later.
