The updated policy seeks to streamline the growing credit card market while ensuring a secure and efficient digital payment ecosystem. The central bank has introduced a substantial increase in credit card limits to accommodate the rising demand for digital payments as a primary alternative to carrying cash. These adjustments are part of the revised guidelines intended to provide greater financial flexibility to cardholders and support the national transition toward a cashless economy. The central bank also updated its previous policies to accommodate the rapid expansion of credit card usage and the integration of ever-new features in the banking sector. The revised guidelines provide an exhaustive operational scope covering the entire lifecycle of credit card services.
