Chandigarh, 22 October 2026: AU Small Finance Bank (AU SFB), India’s largest small finance bank and the first in over a decade to receive in-principle approval to transition into a Universal Bank, today announced a strategic partnership with Paytm (One 97 Communications Ltd.) to launch the Paytm AU SFB Credit Card, India’s first Family Lounge Access RuPay Credit Card. Designed for India’s mobile-first consumers, the lifetime-free card brings together rewards on everyday Paytm UPI spends with a distinctive family travel benefit.

With no joining or annual fee, the Paytm AU SFB Credit Card offers up to 2% rewards on eligible Paytm UPI spends, including payments for groceries and cab rides, and 5% rewards on Paytm Travel bookings and Paytm Gold purchases. Reward points can be redeemed for Paytm Gold at ₹1 per point, as well as for vouchers, bill payments and other benefits.

A key feature of the card is family airport lounge access on eligible round-trip flights booked through Paytm. Up to four family members can access lounges together, with up to 12 complimentary lounge visits annually. A QR-based entry experience enables lounge access without the need to present a physical card.
