Frequently asked questions

How is the Federal Scapia card different from a regular Federal credit card?
The Scapia Card is co-branded with the Scapia travel fintech (separate app + onboarding flow). Reward structure is travel-optimised: 0% forex markup, 10% airline cashback, 20% hotel cashback, lifetime-free. Federal Bank's other branded cards (Signet, Imperio) use traditional reward-point structures.
What's the minimum salary for the Federal Scapia card?
Scapia accepts ₹15,000/month as the documented minimum and ₹25K+ in practice — among the most accessible zero-forex CCs in India. The application flow runs through the Scapia mobile app and is one of the fastest among Indian CC issuers (2-5 days from approval to physical card).
Is the Scapia card a credit card or a prepaid travel card?
It's a true credit card issued by Federal Bank on the Visa network. Standard credit-card features apply (revolving credit, EMI conversion, billing cycle, CIBIL reporting). The Scapia branding handles the customer-facing rewards UX + travel concierge layer.
RBI regulatory notice

Credit cards in India are issued by banks and NBFCs licensed by the Reserve Bank of India. Card issuance, credit limit, interest rate (APR), fees, and reward structures are at the sole discretion of the issuer subject to KYC, credit profile, and internal policy. Rates and benefits shown on this page are issuer-published and may change without notice — verify on the issuer's official website before applying.

Risk note: Carrying revolving credit-card balances at typical APRs of 36–48% per annum is one of the most expensive forms of debt in India. Always pay the total amount due, not just the minimum.
