Hi Bansari,
Good day!
I am using the Niyo-IDFC card for quite some time now. I understand that the original Niyo IDFC app has been upgraded to IDFC First bank’s mobile application with a savings account.
I would like to know if I will be charged with any Forex Markup due to this transition? I have been told by an IDFC Bank customer care representative that it’s revised to a 2% fee per international transaction.
Also, I have been informed by the Niyo CRM that with the Niyo-IDFC card I won’t be able to receive any OTP SMS on my Indian number If I am traveling internationally.
Request you to pls confirm the above two points, because if I cant get the OTP SMS then it makes no sense to use this card as I won’t be able to do any Online transaction with this card.
Thanks,
Pathik Jhaveri
Hey @pathikjhaveri77111 ! As you already know that Niyo IDFC users are now IDFC First Bank’s userbase. I’d like to inform you that forex markup charges are applicable as per bank’s revised policy.
Regarding the latter, yes, it is true! You will not receive OTPs on your Indian cellular number if you are traveling abroad, alternatively, you may enable international roaming to your cellular number and avail all the functionalities that you were enjoying in India in abroad also. Provided your service provider has the provision to do so.
If you have further queries, feel free to reach out again!
Have a marvellous Monday!
Hi @ashrithjain thanks for the revert.
First of all we none of the customers got any official mail or notification for the same from Niyo.
Niyo had just increased their customer database by delivering fake and unrealistic promises by showing 0% markup fees for lifetime.
Even your CRM gave such commitments and I signed up for the card and now you are saying I will have to pay the revised markup.
I took this card as I will be traveling abroad for my master’s degree and I was told that this a great card especially for the students and with that I took this card. Atleast you should notify us in advance and help get a replacement maybe with Niyo-DCB which has the same features.
It really feels you are just duping the customers for the sole purpose of increasing or expanding your database.
Thanks,
Pathik
Hey Pathik,
Great that you’re sharing your thoughts with us, helps us get first-hand experience of what our dear customers feel. 
What I’d like you to know is that we have been rigorously communicating with our Niyo IDFC customers through emails, SMSs, app messages and more about the shut-down of Niyo IDFC , requesting our users to move to the IDFC First SA App. All the offerings are in control of the bank, (in this case IDFC) and we have no role in altering them. 
But here’s some good news - early next month, we’re all set to launch a new zero forex markup 100% digital bank account and we assure will not fail to surprise you! Right now, we’re in the beta-testing phase, and if all goes well, you’ll be able to get your hands on this account real soon.
Stay tuned, we’ll be updating the deets, here on Community shortly!
Happy Monday!
Hi @Aswathy_Nambiar thanks for your prompt reply.
I do understand that Niyo had sent out emails but it was never mentioned that all the policies will be updated like the forex markup will be revied to 2-3% and not 0% which was committed earlier.
If any policy is being changed customers should get full clarification on the same.
Also whats the name of the new card ? Is it NiyoX?
Thanks,
Pathik Jhaveri
It is not our place to share the alterations made by the bank, as it wasn’t in our control. Apologies if that caused you trouble.
NiyoX is a 007 banking savings product - 7% interest on our savings above one lakh, 0 commission on Mutual Funds and a 0 Balance account!
The zero forex markup product I mentioned earlier is a Niyo Global product, will share more details once we launch it in the market.
