Apart from utilising it to ride on the Mumbai Metro, it can be used for Mumbaikars’ day-to-day buying necessities such as groceries, petrol, dining, utility bills, and so on.

The ‘ONE MUMBAI’ Smart Card is offered in Classic and Platinum editions, each of which is loaded with a slew of offers ranging from:

1. Domestic Airport Lounge Access is Complimentary
2. Accident Protection Insurance
3. Concierge Services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
4. Dining offers at partner restaurants
5. Gaining access to local brand offers

Col. Shubhodoy Mukherjee, CEO of Mumbai Metro One, remarked on the occasion, “We are happy to unveil the ‘ONE MUMBAI’ Smart Card for Mumbaikars, continuing our heritage of offering world-class services.” We anticipate that this card will be utilised by all travellers and will become popular among Mumbaikars who pay digitally.”

Sanjeev Moghe, EVP and Head, Cards and Payments, Axis Bank, commented on the event, saying, ‘We feel privileged about our cooperation with Mumbai Metro One to launch the ‘ONE MUMBAI’ Smart Card for Mumbaikars. Axis Bank has always been at the forefront of promoting a digitised economy by offering clients safe and secure digital payment alternatives. This collaborative effort with Mumbai Metro One provides passengers with a unique and seamless payments experience, eliminating the need for a client to carry multiple cards. It also allows for frequent payments in retail and e-commerce with a single card. We are convinced that the ‘ONE MUMBAI’ Smart Card would encourage commuters to go digital as India accelerates its transition to a ‘less-cash economy.”
