Bank of Baroda has achieved a significant milestone by being the first public sector bank to launch its own co-branded debit card. While we are familiar with co-branded credit cards, this is the first time a public sector bank in India has introduced a co-branded debit card. The Bank of Baroda EaseMyTrip Debit Card will provide year-long travel benefits without any minimum order value, making it affordable and a must-have for travel enthusiasts. This card can be availed at a joining/annual fee of ₹599, which can be considered quite reasonable for those who shall be able to make flight/hotel/bus bookings via EaseMyTrip. With the rise in travel bookings, innovation in travel debit and credit cards is likely to increase.
