These days credit card issuing bank don't insist for having bank accounts with them, therefore you have choice of plentiful banks.
Besides SBI, you may go in for a VISA or MasterCard with Andhra Bank, Allahabad Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, HSBC, ICICI Bank......list is long. Avoid taking up those bank's card which insist for minimum usage per month or so otherwise they levy penalties. Banks Like ICICI Bank issue life time free cards - No Joining Fee and No Annual Fee.
