Why students in Kolkata choose an FD card

Build your credit score while you study
Use the card for small regular spends, keep usage under 30% of the limit and pay the full bill on time. That builds a score you can use later for an education loan, a bike loan or a rented flat. Read about growing your score from zero, or see your first card with no credit history.
