Last year, if someone would have told us that our lives would consist of wearing masks, standing six feet away and trying our best to avoid touching anything, we would have laughed, but 2020 happened and changed everything.  

In the last 8 months, we all have acquired some new habits and the biggest one is to do as much as we can without touching external surfaces. We avoid going to ATMs or pressing the buttons on Point of Sale (POS) machines and that can sometimes be a little restricting.

So, what is the next best thing? Contactless Payments! 

With SBI Cards’ contactless payment solutions, you can make payments with just a tap of your card or smartphone. This saves you from touching the POS machine, swiping the card or entering the card PIN. SBI Card offers three contactless payment solutions: Contactless SBI Credit Card, SBI Card Pay and Scan to Pay. These payment methods are instant, easy, and secure. You also don’t have to worry about the safety of your card because every transaction is encrypted to keep card information safe. 

SBI Card saw the need of the hour and fulfilled it with their new brand film called ‘Contactless Connections’, which talks about how contactless payments can be the best way to care, amid the New Normal. In this current situation, where physical distance separates us from others, #ContactlessKhushiyan is the bridge we all need & SBI Card with its three contactless payment options, helps us in attaining it.

SBI Card encourages people to #StayContactlessStayHappy, & joined hands with some of India’s most loved Influencers to spread the message of joy, care & carry out a small gesture which can bring #ContactlessKhushiyan.

The campaign brought happiness and inspired millions to stay safe and maintain social distancing. It is also helping us see that no matter what circumstances arise, there is always a way to make your loved ones feel special. 

Influencers like Akanksha Redhu showed her followers the right way to make your mom feel loved. She used her Contactless SBI Credit Card to go out and buy groceries without having to worry about touching the POS machines or swiping the card. She prepared a special meal for her mom to show her love and affection & give her mom some much needed ‘me’ time. If that's not heart-warming, then what is?

Repost @akanksharedhu Spreading #ContactlessKhushiyan with SBI Card and giving my mom some me-time, while I take a turn to cook her favourite comfort food ❤️ Love how easy it is, to just tap the Contactless SBI Card on the NFC enabled POS machine, to make instant payments of up to Rs.2,000 and avoid any physical contact! #StayContactlessStayHappy

With the world on hold, there is no way to go out or have proper date nights which is definitely something every couple is missing. So, actor Vatsal Sheth brought movie nights home for his better half & actress Ishita Dutta and all he needed was his Contactless SBI Card.

With the use of the card, he was able to get food and flowers without having to step out or touch any unwanted surface. This is the true meaning of #Contantless Khushiyan, right?

@ishidutta and @vatsalsheth had the perfect movie night with the help of Contactless SBI Card! Just the tap of the Card on the POS machine to make instant and safe payments of up to Rs.2,000. #StayContactlessStayHappy #contactlesskhushiyan

Another instance of spreading #ContactlessKhushiyan with their SBI Cards are of Anupriya Kapur’s and Sarah Hussain’s who catch up over the phone and reminisce the old days when eating ‘Rasgullas’ together was absolutely easy-breezy. 

With Covid-19 taking over, meeting friends and family might be hard, but thankfully spreading contactless cheer isn’t! Anupriya quickly makes use of her SBI Card to surprise Sarah with a box of the much cherished sweet and Sarah ensures that she brings a smile to Anupriya’s face with another sweet gesture- this time too with SBI Card’s help! We surely agree that the brand is helping friendships thrive during this difficult period by helping spread some contactless cheer!

Enjoy little things in life and spread #contactlessKhushiyan just like @zingyzest and @anupriyakapur , with the help of contactless payment options by SBI Card. After all, safety is important but so are friends and family. #StayContactlessStayHapy
