Hi,

Is Niyo offering only a SBM forex card or is this a fully fledged savings account? Besides zero markup fee are there any benefits in the Indian market?

Thanks

Hi @billubakra,

This is full fledged savings account.

Besides zero forex markup there is complimentary lounge access (yet to be activated), 24X7 visa concierge and upto 5% interest on savings.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Aditya

Few questions-

  1. I already have the NiyoX Equinox account. Will two different bank accounts be viewable in the same app?
  2. What is the monthly average balance that is needed to be maintained in this SBM account?
  3. Can you please share list of all the charges please?
  4. Investing apps are promoting this SBM account as it has less expenses while transferring money to the US brokerage account. If an account is opened via Niyo then will one get the same benefit of lower fee while transferring funds to the US?
  5. Continuing the above point, if a SBM account is opened via those investing apps then is it possible to link it with Niyo?
  6. Debit Card charges of 499+gst are very high. Is there an option of free virtual debit card? If yes then will this virtual card have the zero markup fee?
  7. Are you providing any referral benefits with this account?
  8. Will you again check the credit score while opening this SBM account like you did while opening the NiyoX Equitas account?

Please answer all questions whenever you get time sir.

@billubakra

  1. These are 2 separate products so you’ll be using 2 different apps for the same.
  2. It’s a zero balance account so you don’t need to maintain any average monthly balance.

3 and 4. @Bansari @ashrithjain would be able to better help you with these.

  1. No, at the moment only account opened with the app is linked to Niyo.
  2. No, there isn’t any such option either.
  3. At the moment there aren’t any referral benefits with this account.
  4. Yes, Niyo will pull out your credit report when creating an account.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Aditya

@iamadityamalik Thank you sir. Had a word with SBM bank’s customer support if an account is opened via Niyo then one will not get the benefits of lower cost of funds transfer. But the guy wasn’t sure himself.
@Bansari @ashrithjain can you please confirm point 4 and 5 as mentioned above?

Thanks Sir. Last two questions-
4. Any idea when the outward remittance will be allowed and its charges?
6. Since the physical debit card costs a high amount so can a customer stick to the virtual card or is it compulsory to issue the physical card? Is the SOC pdf nothing is mentioned about the virtual card https://static.goniyo.com/legal/Niyo_SBM_SOC.pdf

@ashrithjain
Sir a question from my friend’s side. He has a NiyoX Equitas account too. For this Niyo SBM account you will check his CRIF score again. Does checking the CRIF score 2 times a month impact the credit score?
