💳 Niyo Card Rewards Program: Here’s Everything You Need to Know! Comparison and Updates

Hey Niyo Explorers :waving_hand:


We know how important it is to get the most out of your card – especially when you’re on the move :globe_showing_asia_australia::airplane:
That’s why we’ve made a few important updates to your Niyo Card Rewards to help you plan better, redeem smarter, and travel smoother.



This post covers everything you need to know about Niyo Coins, free ATM withdrawals, and card-specific rewards – across all three cards: SBM Credit Card, SBM Debit Card, and DCB Debit Card.


:new_button: What’s New from 1st August 2025?

We’ve revised the free international ATM withdrawal benefit across all cards. Here’s the before-and-after:

Card :three_o_clock: Old (Till 31 July 2025) :repeat_button: New (From 1 Aug 2025)
SBM Credit Card 3 ATM withdrawals refunded (₹1,500 in Coins) 1 ATM withdrawal refunded (₹500 in Coins):green_circle:
SBM Debit Card 3 ATM withdrawals refunded (₹1,500 in Coins) 1 ATM withdrawal refunded (₹500 in Coins):green_circle:
DCB Debit Card 3 ATM withdrawals refunded (₹1,500 in Coins) 1 ATM withdrawal refunded (₹500 in Coins)

:coin: What does this mean?

You’ll continue to get 1 free international ATM withdrawal every quarter, but now the refund is capped at ₹500 worth of Niyo Coins (i.e., 5,000 Coins per quarter).

:green_circle: For SBM users: This 1 free ATM withdrawal is shared between your SBM Debit and Credit Card combined — meaning, only one fee will be refunded per quarter across both cards.


:blue_circle: For DCB users: You’ll get 1 free international ATM withdrawal per quarter on your DCB Debit Card.

:hourglass_not_done: Coins will reflect in your account within 60 days of the transaction.


:warning: Note: ATM interest or acquirer bank fees won’t be refunded.
