GE Money looking for Strategic Business Partner for Personal Mortgage Loan Segments

GE Money India is seeking a strategic partner for its credit card business, trying to replicate its business model with the State Bank of India (SBI). Its partner in the joint venture is Wizard Home Loans, a non-banking finance company from Australia.
