What SBI Cards & Payment Services does

India's second-largest credit card issuer, a joint venture between State Bank of India and Carlyle-linked investors.

Earns from three sources: interest on balances customers carry forward, interchange, a fee merchants pay on each card purchase, and annual and late-payment fees, so credit losses and the cost of funds shape profit. Cards are sold largely through State Bank of India's branches and co-branded programmes with partners. State Bank of India holds the majority.

In one line: India's Synchrony Financial/Discover Financial.
