When I was set to do an all-important transaction using Niyo DCB Global card, the transaction was declined 5-6 times only to know later that Niyo had blocked all the DCB card on Oct 1 without customer’s consent. Did anyone else experience such an issue? ---

Hi @Shravan_Vallaban, Are you sure it’s blocked ? Coz the only recent update was to deactivate international transactions as per RBI guidelines which they have done. You can activate it easily from the app. Check if that’s deactive or not and then try transacting. -Tousif ---

Yes, I tried locking and unlocking the card for online transactions during that particular international transaction, but to no avail. ---
