Mobikwik in partnership with American Express launched the Mobikwik Blue American Express card for select Mobikwik customers by mid August 2020, later extended to many others by late Nov 2020.
This is technically a prepaid card but in this case it works more like a debit card that’s linked to Mobikwik Wallet balance. That’s a good innovation for sure.
Application Process
It was issued to only a few by August 2020 when it got initially launched and I got it by then. From late nov, its given to everyone who did the KYC process with Mobikwik.
Virtual card got generated instantly and they don’t have any plan for sending physical card as per tnc.

Mobikwik-Amex History
Amex partnership with Mobikwik goes back to April 2015, when it bought a stake in it. Mobikwik was a brand name few years ago with generous cashbacks on adding money and recharge, until it started a new concept of providing supercash instead of cashbacks and very few of its existing customers liked its complexity and benefits.
Even after demonetization Mobikwik was unable to capture the digital boom thanks to its supercash concept whereas others like Paytm, Phonepe, Google pay thrived.
Being a shareholder of Mobikwik, this partnership should have come much earlier (though in its present form, it is unlikely to please its customers in a big way
