BankBazaar, an online marketplace for financial products, has announced the launch of business cards from Yes Bank on their platform. With this launch, BankBazaar expands its credit card category to include business cards tailored keeping in mind the specific needs of the self-employed customers, especially when it comes to managing business expenses better.

To start with, BankBazaar is featuring two variants of business cards from Yes Bank. These are already integrated and live on the platform. Two more variants from other partner banks are expected to go live by the end of the month.

Paperless application

All the products come with a paperless application option. Customers can opt for manual submission of documents or choose to apply for all these products in a completely paperless manner for a much faster approval process.

BankBazaar currently has more than 50+ credit cards from partner banks already available on the site. However, this is the first time BankBazaar is hosting business cards targeted specifically at self-employed customers.

Speaking about the category expansion, Adhil Shetty, Co-founder & CEO, BankBazaar, said: “BankBazaar’s aim is to help customers access the financial product that is right for them. Millennials, who form the core of our customer base, are high on aspiration, as revealed by the BankBazaar Aspiration Index, and have more entrepreneurial spirit compared to earlier generations.

Our search data, too, shows that the self-employed customers contribute to more than 20% of the searches for credit cards. At BankBazaar, we realize the need for products tailored specifically for this customer group, and with these new partnerships, we are trying to bring more relevant products on board for a large section of our customers.”

These cards offer control, cost savings and convenience and are tailored for the self-employed individuals who have their own business to drive effective expenses management, including travel and entertainment expenses.
