  2. Understanding the typical requirements or expectations from banks for new credit card collaborations.
  3. Any insider tips or advice on how to make a compelling proposal that aligns with their strategic goals.

Launching a credit card in partnership with a major bank is a strategic move that requires a well-crafted approach. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to proceed:

1.​

  • Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank: The ideal departments to approach are typically the Retail Banking, Credit Card Division, or Partnerships and Alliances teams. These divisions oversee credit card product development and strategic partnerships.
  • Key Roles: Consider targeting senior managers or vice presidents responsible for product development, strategic alliances, or the head of the credit card division.

2.​

  • Market Analysis: Banks expect a detailed market analysis, showcasing potential market size, target customer segments, and competitive positioning.
  • Value Proposition: Clearly define the unique benefits of your credit card offering. This might include attractive reward structures, innovative features, or co-branded benefits that align with the bank’s objectives.
  • Financial Projections: Be prepared with robust financial projections, including expected revenue, break-even analysis, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Compliance and Risk Management: Banks require assurance that the partnership will comply with regulatory standards. Highlight your understanding of financial regulations and your strategy for risk management.
  • Technology and Integration: If your card offers tech-driven benefits (e.g., AI-powered fraud detection, app-based controls), outline your technology infrastructure and its compatibility with the bank’s systems.

3.​

  • Alignment with Bank’s Goals: Tailor your pitch to the strategic goals of each bank. For example, if a bank is focusing on digital innovation, emphasize the technological edge of your offering.
  • Customer-Centric Approach: Banks are keen on value propositions that attract and retain customers. Present detailed insights on customer experience and engagement.
  • Risk and Reward Balance: Clearly outline both the benefits and potential risks, and explain how you plan to manage or mitigate the risks.
  • Partnership Case Studies: If possible, reference successful case studies of similar partnerships to build credibility and demonstrate the potential impact.
  • Personalize the Pitch: Understand the core values and recent initiatives of each bank. Customize your proposal to show that your card is a strategic fit.

4.​

  • Industry Events: Attend banking and fintech conferences to network with senior executives from these banks.
  • Professional Platforms: Use LinkedIn to connect with key decision-makers in the credit card and retail banking divisions. A personalized message expressing your interest in exploring partnership opportunities can be effective.
  • Warm Introductions: If you have contacts within the financial sector, leverage them to get introductions to the right people.
