The world credit card comes with a bouquet of features like free air ticket, zero surcharge on petrol filling, loyalty points for every Rs 100 spent, airport lounge access, insurance cover and many more offers and value additions.

The bank also introduced on-line deposit products for net banking customers. Its debit card customers can now book railway tickets through the IRCTC platform.
