Niyo Global Credit Card FD closure

Hello,

I understand we need to create a FD to extend credit card limit. May I know what is the procedure to close this FD ? Can I again create a new FD when in need ?

Thanks

Hello @neha_prasad! Thank you for your inquiry!

Let me break it down for you. You have two options to increase your Niyo Global Credit Card spending limit:

  1. You can create multiple Fixed Deposits (FDs) using the funds in your savings account by accessing the ā€œFixed depositsā€ option within the credit card section of the app. The total value of your FDs determines your credit card limit.

  2. Alternatively, you can temporarily enhance your credit limit by using the ā€˜Increase limit’ feature in the app. This boosted limit is designed for online payments and card transactions, but it cannot be used for ATM withdrawals.

It’s important to note that once you add funds to your credit card, those funds become a part of your credit limit and cannot be transferred back to your savings account.

For Fixed Deposit withdrawals:

  1. Navigate to the ā€œCredit Cardā€ section at the top of the screen.
  2. Select ā€œFixed Depositsā€ from the settings menu.
  3. Pick the specific FD you wish to withdraw and click on ā€œClose Credit Card & Withdraw FDā€ at the bottom.
  4. Carefully review the withdrawal details and confirm the transaction.

Please keep in mind that FD withdrawals typically take around 4-5 business days, and the withdrawn amount will be credited to your Global Savings account.

And yes, currently, once you break the FD, your card will be automatically closed/blocked. But we’re in the process of working with the bank to make it possible for you to reapply for the FD and credit card. This feature will be available soon. :slight_smile:

Is the feature of reapplying fd and activating same credit card again is available?

If I have multiple fd, can I withdraw any one fd which reduces my credit card limit and not completely block the card?

Hi,

I’ve recently signed up for the Niyo Global Credit card and wasn’t unaware there’s no option to pay and reduce the credit limit once it is increased.

Is there something I could do to pay the outstanding bill and then reduce my credit limit?

Thank you!

Hi @himanshub16,

Welcome to the Niyo Community! :raised_hands:

We’re excited to share that the feature to adjust your credit limit by withdrawing partial FDs is being rolled out to a select group of users and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. :tada:

Right now, the app doesn’t have the option to reduce your credit limit once it’s been increased. But you can definitely pay off your outstanding bill to keep your balance in check.

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance.

Hope this helps! :slightly_smiling_face:

I AM STRUGGLING FOR 2 MONTHS TO GET MY FD AMOUNT.
