Federal Bank has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the select retail credit card portfolio of Standard Chartered Bank India. The transaction transfers roughly 4.5 lakh credit cards, focusing heavily on standalone cardholders in top metropolitan cities. This strategic move allows Standard Chartered to sharpen its focus on wealth management, while accelerating Federal Bank's expansion into high-yield retail segments.
The acquisition instantly doubles Federal Bank’s presence in Tier-1 markets and expands its non-co-branded credit card receivables by nearly 90%.
Expected to close within 2026, the deal highlights a growing trend of domestic private lenders absorbing retail assets from exiting foreign banks.
