According to Moneycontrol article:

"The credit card startup has received notification from its banking partner Federal Bank to bring down the credit limits by up to 70-80% for inactive users or users who have made infrequent transactions. Maybe around 150-200 users so far might have gotten impacted due to the move and this is done only for users who have not even touched their cards or used at least 10% of the limit," A source close to the development said.

150-200 users will not have any concern for a bank. And it's not 70-80% reduction but upto 98%. It is much bigger chunk. They are just trying to save their face now by these paid articles

Don't blame them. Blame the system. These people are pressurized to churn up 15-20 articles a day or their bonuses would be affected. This is why quality of journalism has gone down in the recent days.

Scapia hi phukh rahe hai re baba & this entire fiasco proves their algo was flawed ... Period.

They rejected people JUST for having more than 4-5 CIBIL hits in 6 months and/or higher CU ratio, which is NONSENSE ...

Say someone with a salary of 1L Per Month (12L PA) has a total credit exposure of 2L & was using 90% of that limit (1,80,000) it did not make sense to reject them just for that, which they did ... Amount of Credit Exposure is more important than CUR itself ! This is what banks abroad also take in to their algo before assigning a limit or approving a card !! Scapia should have asked for supporting docs or put applications for Manual Review in such cases instead of instantly rejecting them.

Also, Ironically the reason Scapia gave for cutting down people's credit limit without informing them was to safeguard themselves from "reckless usage of the limit", which translates to exposure issue more than Utilisation Ratio issue, which makes absolute sense. Think of it like this, I have a loaded gun & just coz I have not used it till now does not mean I will not recklessly use it in the future ..

Now, tell me this, having a total credit exposure 40L with 2% utilisation ratio & a monthly salary of 1L is more risky for a bank or having a 1L salary with total credit exposure of 2L with even 99% utilisation ratio is more risky ? People with NO income & NO income proof are getting high limits on C2C basis, which is ridiculous ! RBI increased the Risk weightage Points just for this madness & the subsequent increase in NPAs because of it ..

Maal toh scapia waale ae phukh rahe the !

Something which I need to confirm before I go ahead and close Scapia, I heard if I close any of Federal Bank card, it's not possible to get another Federal Bank card ever.

Also, in case it is possible what is the cool down period and most important are Federal Bank cards offering any value😬

maybe

As I was repeatedly mentioning in TF forum - in various threads - non-bankers are running these operations with ZERO knowledge of these banking products n operations. BTech n MBAs - however good they may be - can never replace true-bankers. More so, in banking product design, operations and compliance.

More than a dozen fintech card issuing firms have launched their products - CCs n Loans n Deposits - without much understanding.

Already some are on the verge of extinction. By mid-2024, I expect many more will be vanishing.

end game is an IPO exit. baki ye sab business to bahane hai

very true . RBI must have an overall cap on number of credit cards and overall limits vs ITR.
