The SBI Card 2.0 application is a reimagined mobile-first flow launched in 2025. It uses the YONO app, video KYC, and instant card virtualisation to approve and issue a credit card in 7 minutes — the fastest credit card application in India. The flow is open to any SBI customer with a savings account and YONO access.
Why this matters
SBI Card 2.0 is the future of credit card applications in India. The video KYC replaces the in-person verification and document upload, the YONO integration auto-fills KYC, and the virtual card is issued instantly. Approval rate is 85% for SBI customers with a clean credit history.

Common mistakes to avoid
Video KYC is available only between 9 AM and 9 PM. Outside these hours, the application falls back to document upload, which takes 3–5 days. Make sure your Aadhaar mobile is reachable during the video KYC.
Pro tips
- Apply during 9 AM – 9 PM for instant video KYC approval
- Have your PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof ready before the video call
- Use the virtual card for online purchases while waiting for the physical card
- Track the physical card delivery in YONO → Cards → Track
