SBI deputy managing director – corporate strategy and new business Manju Agarwal said: "The strategic alliance with American Express will enable SBI to extend to its merchants a cost-effective solution that provides the convenience of one point of contact (POC) for all Card networks, competitive pricing, faster funds availability and consolidated statements etc."
American Express regional president Sanjay Rishi said: "We’re on a journey to ensure that our Card members can use their American Express Cards every day for virtually all their purchases and earn valuable rewards along the way.
"We’ve made great progress expanding our merchant network in places like retail, fuel stations, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, and online merchants, and solidifying a broader presence among small and mid-sized merchants across India is the next step."
