With the banking regulator lifting restrictions on HDFC Bank's digital initiatives, the largest private sector lender is now girding up to launch a clutch of customer-facing applications (apps), which will act as stepping stones in its journey to morph into a technology (tech)-led bank from a conventional one.

The embargo on issuing credit cards was lifted in August 2021 and the ban on digital launches was lifted last week.
