Benefits of linking credit cards to your bank account

Clearing card dues

You can place a standing Instruction on your bank account to clear the credit card bill when it is generated. This helps in avoiding missed or late payments which not only incur additional interest charges but also hamper your credit score.

Checking statements

Your credit card statements are also accessible whenever you want. You can log into your net banking account and easily check your current and previous credit card statements.

Limit enhancement

You can request the bank to increase your credit card limit so that you have more credit access. An enhanced limit also helps boost your credit score by lowering the credit utilization ratio.
