Debit card charges

Are there any charges for using the debit card? Is there any free debit card I can use? I was not informed during account creation, how can I change?

Hey @digantiitr, the Platinum Debit Card comes at an annual fees of ₹150 + GST. The current promotional offer is live till 30th June 2021, waives your 1st year’s annual fee. So the first year is free for you. Sorry, we do not have any free debit card.

Also, below are the charges you’ll incur:
ATM withdrawals at metro locations (other Bank ATMs): 3 FREE per month
ATM withdrawals at non-metro locations (other Bank ATMs): 5 FREE per month
Charges beyond free limits of ATM withdrawals: ₹20 + taxes per transaction
Cash withdrawal outside India: ₹110 + taxes from 1st International ATM transaction
Balance Enquiry outside India: ₹25 + taxes from 1st International balance enquiry

You can also go through the detailed SOC (Schedule Of Charges) in the app. Go to Menu> Support> My Account > Schedule of Charges.

So I don’t have to pay anything got the 1st year. On which date will my next charge be levied for the card? And is there any option to surrender the card, if I want to keep my account but not pay the fees for the card

As it is an annual fee, it will be charged in the same month next year, when the account was created. And we are sorry, we do not have the option to have you surrender the card and keep using the account. SR

Hi,

We are coming up with a criteria shortly which would be simple and based on that your next years card fee would be waived. pls look out for that here :slight_smile:

Cheers

Hey Vijay! We are already running a promotional offer so that the annual fee for the card for this year can be waived off for you. For the subsequent years as well, in all probability that fee would be anyway waived off based on some usage/account balance criteria which we will announce in next few months.
Furthermore, as long as the community guidelines are followed, we completely encourage all our users to come up with their queries, doubts, concerns and complaints so that we can address it on open forum. LK

Why was I not informed of the debit card charges right at the opening of the amount? I think my trust level just decreased on this.

And why do you have charges for debit card at all? All my other bank accounts do not charge for debit card.

Hey Sanjay,

Welcome to the Niyo Community!

This might help!

Where can I find the details of the promotional offer for 1st year? Couldn’t find it in my account or T&C’s.

Hey Sanjay! Please allow us to help you with the offer details: “Complete the Biometric verification of your account before 30th June and your 1st-year annual fees would be waived off.” Hope this helps! LK
