The share price of India’s largest private sector bank by asset and market capitalization is down. On Monday, HDFC Bank Ltd slipped ₹837.70, down by 2.26% from the previous close price of ₹857.05. The company’s price over the last five trading sessions also plummeted to 5.64%. HDFC Bank remains in the red territory despite launching two new credit cards in partnership with food delivery and quick commerce platform Swiggy. Swiggy, HDFC Bank Co-branded Cards The two co-branded credit cards, Swiggy BLCK HDFC Bank Credit Card and the Swiggy Orange HDFC Bank Credit Card, are aimed at users who regularly spend on groceries, food delivery, dining out, travel bookings and online shopping. The two cards effectively split the original Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card launched in July 2023 into two different card variants, each offering different reward rates. The BLCK card, which targets lifestyle spenders, offers higher rewards than the ORNGE card, which functions as an entry-level version. ”The Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card was launched two years ago to make everyday spending more rewarding and convenient. As consumers spend more across lifestyle categories, they’re seeking payment solutions that deliver meaningful value,” said Phani Kishan Addepalli - Chief Growth Officer and Co-Founder, Swiggy, as cited by Business Standard. Reward Rates BLCK offers 10% cashback on Swiggy services, including food delivery, Instamart, Dineout and other services. ORNGA offers half the cashback rate at 5% on Swiggy spends. Both cards offer 5% cashback on eligible online spends outside the Swiggy ecosystem. “This expanded partnership with Swiggy reflects our focus on building differentiated, category-led propositions. By introducing two distinct variants, we are offering customers greater flexibility, deeper rewards, and meaningful value across high-frequency and premium spending categories,” said Vidya Pradeep, Head – Credit and Debit Cards Product and Portfolio at HDFC Bank.
