This basically means the current debit card would be unusable post March 15 at international POS/ATMs right? Wanted to confirm from Niyo’s team on this.
Hey @KoolSIM! Welcome to Niyo Community
RBI has issued a relaxation with regards to the 23rd Jan circular stopping international transactions. International ATM withdrawals, POS and Tap & Pay transactions are now allowed on your SBM Niyo Global Debit Card. We are working with the bank and are very hopeful that this is will be fully back to normal well before 15th March.
Thank you for your continued faith in us
Hi Deepak,

Let me know if you have any more questions — I’ll be happy to help!
I closed my SBM account because it was no longer useful. Now what do I do?
I understand the situation —once a Niyo SBM account is closed, it can’t be reopened as it is/was a one-time offer. But don’t worry, I’ve got a great alternative for you!
You can apply for a Niyo Global DCB account, which comes with similar benefits and will have you sorted in no time. Just click here to get started: https://niyo.me/dcb_onboarding
