Going beyond offers and benefits, SampathCards has always been recognized as the responsible choice for cards in the market due to its commitment to supporting its cardholders.

Earlier this year, SampathCards implemented a series of measures to lessen the financial burden that cardholders may face due to the pandemic such as payment date extensions, waivers on interests and late payment charges, reduction in minimum due payments and interest rates. Free eStatement facilities were made available to all cardholders. They could also instantly receive their credit card balance and last statement details via SMS by giving a missed call to 0112303090.

Unlike most other credit cards that burden cardholders with as many as 28 charges, SampathCards levy only 4 charges and do not include a fuel surcharge. The ‘Sampath Extended Settlement Plan’ allows cardholders to convert any local or overseas direct transaction into a preferred instalment plan for a nominal handling fee. Cardholders can also obtain hassle free instant cash advances and settle it through convenient instalment options under the ‘Cash Instalment Plan.’ The Card Balance Transfer programme (CBT) allows customers to transfer the outstanding balances on their credit cards from other banks along with the accrued interest to a Sampath Credit Card at a lower interest rate and pay in monthly instalments. And there is the exemplary service that Sampath Bank has come to be synonymous with for over 30 years.
