Quick Analysis

The Paytm HDFC Bank Select Business Credit Card is a solid mid-range business credit card for those in the Paytm ecosystem.

  • Cashback not applicable on fuel, wallet, EMI, rent and government spends

Best For

Business owners and self-employed individuals who frequently use Paytm for business transactions, bill payments and recharges. Also good for those wanting domestic lounge access with a low annual fee.

Not Ideal For

International travelers (no international lounge access, high forex markup of 3.5%). Not ideal for those who do not use Paytm ecosystem for their business spends.

Conclusion

The Paytm HDFC Bank Select Business Credit Card is a well-rounded business credit card for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals who frequently transact on the Paytm platform. The 5% cashback on Paytm spends, combined with 12 complimentary domestic lounge visits and personal accident cover up to Rs 15 lakh, makes it an attractive proposition at the Rs 1,000 price point.

However, the card is best suited for those deeply embedded in the Paytm ecosystem. For those who do not use Paytm frequently, the 1% base cashback rate on general spends, combined with the 3.5% forex markup and absence of international lounge access, may not justify this card over alternatives like the SBI Cashback or HDFC Millennia.
