Axis Bank, India's third largest private sector bank and Kochi Metro Railway (KMRL) have concluded a major deal through an international competitive bid by which the bank will invest the entire funds, estimated at Rs 100 crore in the phase one, for the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system and pay Rs 209 crore as royalty to be KMRL's partner in the project.

Further, the bank will take care of maintenance of the AFC system for 10 years. The bank will issue co-branded debit cards to the users of the Kochi Metro system. In addition to this, 20 per cent of Axis Bank's gross revenues, from the utilisation of this Debit Card outside KMRL's ecosystem in various mercantile outlets and internet transactions, will also accrue to KMRL over the next 10 years.

In return, the bank will get the unique opportunity to populate its debit card in the metro ecosystem and in the entire city with the possibility of getting a large number of new clientele, KMRL pointed out in a statement. Furthermore, the bank will get the ‘first mover’ advantage in this model which it can replicate in other cities in India.

Axis Bank offers the entire spectrum of services to customer segments covering Large and Mid-Corporates, SME, Agriculture and Retail Businesses.
