Airtel Payments Bank is one of the top 6 payments banks in India. In a recent partnership with NPCI, the Airtel Payments Bank has launched NCMC cards (National Common Mobility Card) on its Airtel Thanks app. The NCMC card comes in the form of a debit card, prepaid card or credit Rupay card and can be used for contactless payments at metro, grocery stores, toll and even retail outlets (with NFC) as well as on online stores. Here’s all you need to know about the Airtel Payments Bank NCMC card launch, and how to order an NCMC card on the Airtel Thanks app.

Airtel is today buzzing on the internet for hitting a record high on the stock market. The upward move is said to have come after some tariff optimism that suggests a possible tariff hike for telcos post-elections. Moreover, Airtel in partnership with NPCI has launched an NCMC card facility on its Airtel Thanks app.

For those of you who may not know, Airtel Payments Bank also allows customers to open a savings account and use features like UPI, recharges, bill payments, FASTags, and fund transfers. Moreover, the payments bank also has some frequent cashback offers running.

An NCMC card is a contact + contactless inter-operable transport card launched by the government of India in March 2019. An NCMC card works just like a debit card or a prepaid card. Customers can use it for seamless tap, pay and go payments as well as online payments

Use cases: Metro, buses, parking, toll, grocery stores, offline merchants that accept contactless payments and online stores as well
