If you have an SBI credit card, then you can use it domestically and international transactions as well. But the thing is you will have to enable it by yourself on your card. In this guide, I will tell you how you can enable international transactions on SBI Credit Card.
Now you might get a question in your mind. When the card supports international transactions, then why is it disabled by default?
That is for the safety and security of the card. It is done by the credit card company as per the guidelines of RBI. The features like contactless and international transactions are disabled by default.
And if the customer or the cardholder wants to enable this then he or she can do it. This is not the case only with credit cards. But it is the same case with debit cards as well.
