Ask anything Niyo Card here!

Sorry to have missed your call Nithin, I was doing my VKYC which has been completed. Please call me back

Hi @Hadee_Faiz,

We’re really sorry for the hassle you’ve faced during the re-KYC process. Since it’s Saturday, there might be limited agent availability, which could be causing the delay. We also tried connecting with you over a call but couldn’t get through. On a positive note, we’re glad that you’ve managed to retrieve your full privaterelay ID! :blush: Please let us know a convenient time to connect, and we’ll do our best to assist you promptly. Your patience and cooperation are truly appreciated!

While trying to register into the App, during validation of my PAN number, the app shows the below error:

PAN already exists!

The PAN that you chose to verify already exists in our records, please try using another PAN or login using existing mobile no XXXXXXXXXX

The thing is that mobile number mentioned is not even my number or anyone I know.

How is it possible that someone had signed up into Niyo using his mobile number but my PAN details?

Is this some kind of fraud?

Hi @Hadee_Faiz,

I tried reaching out to you via call but couldn’t get through. I’ve replied to the email thread again. Could you please check and confirm if you’ve received the email regarding your account closure request?


Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

No, I did not receive it Nithin. If you look into it you will understand that you cannot send or receive mails to a private relay address. So there is no point in trying to send an email to that account.

Hey @Hadee_Faiz

We understand your concern, kindly allow us a window to have this checked with the concerned and assist you further accordingly.

Oh please do. Ive been behind this for more than a month now.

Hey @Hadee_Faiz

Thank you for speaking with us. As discussed, kindly share the bank SR number via DM so that we can assist you according.

If -
(a) If I cancel my account, can I create a new account in my name again when I need to make a payment?
(b) If I “permanently block" my debit card, will I get to make a new virtual debit card for FREE instead of having to pay ₹293 as shown in app? (a virtual card works just fine, & I DON’T need a physical card)
(c) If I “lock” my debit card, instead of “permanently blocking” the card…

… will I still be charged the fee on a debit card in the above 3 cases?

I really don’t want to get ₹5000 stuck in the NIYO app considering I don’t have any SBM branch nearby where I live. Additionally, I’ll only use the NIYO SBM debit card for “occasional" international e-com payments. I have no plans of travelling abroad with the card or using it abroad. Once again, I’m using it purely for international e-com transactions.

Finally, if I deposit ₹5,000 in the NIYO SBM savings account, can I transfer it to another bank through the app whenever I need it?

Hey @Troid,

Welcome to the Niyo Community! :hugs:

Thanks for reaching out. Here’s what you need to know:


(a) If you close your Niyo SBM account, you won’t be able to reopen an account with SBM Bank. However, you can apply for a new account with our other partner bank, DCB Bank, subject to their eligibility criteria at the time of reapplying.

(b) If you permanently block your debit card, a new virtual card won’t be issued automatically for free. You’ll need to request a replacement, which comes with a fee of ₹293 (as shown in the app).

(c) If you lock your debit card instead of permanently blocking it, no replacement fee will be charged. You can unlock the card anytime via the app and continue using it without any additional costs.

Regarding fees: Charges apply only if you request a new card after permanently blocking your existing one. Locking the card does not incur any charges.

As for your savings balance, you can deposit ₹5,000 in your Niyo SBM account and transfer it to another bank anytime via IMPS, NEFT, or UPI using the app.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further queries. :blush:
