Cred is yet another brand that is associated with IPL. Anyone who pays their bill during the powerplay overs in any IPL game has a chance of winning 100% cashback of the amount they paid.
With the acquirement of the coveted sponsorship spot by Slice, such as front-of-shirt, the other fintech companies in the industry will try to secure lucrative sponsorship deals with IPL franchises ahead of the upcoming edition. As a result, the fintech category is destined to become one of the top three advertising categories in the upcoming IPL 15.
IPL has an average viewership of 21.8 million per match and a massive total of 446 million views across the internet. The Indian domestic cricket league is the best marketing platform for any company looking to expand in India and around the world.
The new-age fintech companies, which provide hefty rewards to customers, pocketing some fruitful sponsorship deals in IPL will pressurize the traditional bank cards to step up and give similar deals to their customers.
