The Eleva Card. Yours to hold in 2026.

The card

A premium credit card, issued with our banking partner.

The approval

No salary slip. No employer letter. No fifteen-year wait.

The rewards

Lounge access and the usual premium benefits — plus rewards weighted towards health and longevity.

The catch

Only 500 founding places. After that, members-only invitations.

Who it's built for

You never took the
salaried route.

The credit card industry underwrites payslips. So the people who built their own income get treated like they have none. Eleva starts from the opposite assumption.

Doctors
Private practice, own clinic, visiting consultant.
Lawyers & CAs
Chambers, partnerships, independent practice.
Founders
Drawing what the business allows, not what HR decides.
Consultants
Retainers and projects instead of a monthly cycle.
Creators
Audience, brand deals, IP — income no form has a box for.
Investors & traders
Wealth that compounds, on paper that banks won't read.
Freelancers
Many clients, no employer, real earnings.
Business owners
A balance sheet that says more than a payslip ever could.

What we believe

You didn't wait for a promotion.

You built clients. Projects. A practice. A portfolio.

Every version of you has been built — not given.

Why does someone else define your limit?

Let no stranger define your limit.

The rewards

Every premium card gives you a lounge.
Ours also gives you a longer life.

You'll have the lounge access — that comes with the territory. What's different is where the rewards point. Eleva Health+ is weighted towards what independent professionals actually invest in: their own body, mind and longevity.

Accelerated rewards
10×Up to ten times the base rate on health, fitness, nutrition and longevity spending.
Health Wallet
Credits added to your wallet every quarter, to spend across diagnostics, therapy, fitness, nutrition and more.
Care included
Doctor and nutritionist consultations, plus a preventive health screening — included with membership, not bought with points.
The essentials, too
Airport lounge access and the premium benefits you'd expect. And every other rupee still earns — health simply earns a great deal more.

Reward rates, categories and wallet values are being finalised with our launch partners. Waitlist members will see the full programme before it's published anywhere else.

Why join now

Five hundred founding members. Numbered, permanent, first.

The waitlist isn't a queue for the same product everyone else gets later. The founding 500 get things that stop existing once we open the doors.

Your number, on the card
#001–#500, printed on the face of your card. Assigned once, on the day you're approved, and never reissued.
First cards, locked rates
Founding cards ship before public launch — and your founding reward rates stay yours, even if the public rates come down later.
Wallet credit & invitations
A Health Wallet credit the day you activate, plus invitations to give — after the first 500, an invitation is the only way in.

Joining the waitlist is not a credit application. There's no credit check, no document upload, and no obligation to proceed when we open.

Straight answers

Is this an actual credit card?
Yes. Eleva is a premium credit card, issued in partnership with a regulated banking partner. It is not a prepaid card, a points club or a networking membership.
Do I need a salary slip, ITR or Form 16?
No. That's the entire point of Eleva. Approval is based on the wealth you've built, which is why self-employed professionals aren't at a disadvantage here — they're the people it was designed for.
Then how is my limit actually decided?
Against your wealth rather than a monthly income figure, which is why limits here tend to look nothing like what salary-based underwriting would offer you. The full mechanics go to waitlist members first, ahead of public launch.
Does joining the waitlist affect my credit score?
Not at all. Joining the waitlist isn't a credit application — there's no bureau enquiry, no hard pull, and nothing recorded against your file.
What will it cost?
Fees are being finalised with our launch partners. Waitlist members will see the complete fee structure before it's published, with no obligation to proceed.
When does it launch?
Founding cards go out to the first 500 members ahead of public launch in 2026. We'll email you your date as it firms up.
I'm salaried. Can I still join?
Definitely, you can, and you should! If you have some other non-premium credit card, chances are that Eleva unlocks better Limits & better Rewards for you, more in line with what you truly deserve.
