HDFC Regalia Vs SBI Prime Credit card Comparison

Updated: May 18, 2022


Would you go with the industry leader HDFC’s Regalia or the most trusted SBI’s Prime credit card?

HDFC Regalia is the better card for most users.

SBI Prime packs a punch too and can knock down Regalia in the ring of Offline payments and Utilities.

The default reward rate of HDFC Regalia is more than twice of SBI Prime credit card.

SBI Prime’s Reward Points can be converted into statement credit. Nothing beats pure and simple cash.

Then again, SBI’s Yono is like a second hand version of HDFC’s Smartbuy.

We all can see that this argument can go on and on. Only numbers can tell the truth.
