Advantages of Debit Card

Following are some of the advantages of using a Debit Card:

  • Convenience

One of the most significant advantages of Debit Cards is convenience. Anyone can use a Debit Card for online transactions. The amount gets debited from the linked bank account as soon as the transaction is over, while you receive the transaction details via a message or email, making the whole process transparent.

  • Easy to avail

Anyone having a savings bank account with us can apply for a Debit Card. So, if you are an existing customer, you can choose from different types of Debit Cards offered by us.

 

Additional Benefits

A regular Debit Card provides basic facilities like ATM usage, online payment etc. But some exclusive AU Debit Cards help you reap additional benefits such as relatively more Daily Cash Withdrawal Limits, Card Liability Cover, Personal Accident Covers, Cashback, Offers, etc.

  • Helps to control spends

One of the advantages of paying with a Debit Card is that you don’t go overboard with your spends. This prevents you from falling into a debt cycle. 

  • Safe to Use

All information pertaining to AU Debit Cards are encrypted with advanced technology. In case you lose your card, nobody can withdraw money from your account using that card unless the person knows your PIN.

 

How to apply for Debit Cards?

Now that you know about Debit Card features and benefits, you can apply for one if you have a Savings or Current Account:

  • By visiting our nearest AU Small Finance Bank branch.
  • Calling our customer care @ 1800-1200-1200.

In a nutshell, an individual can experience a whole new dimension of cashless transactions using Debit Cards. Debit Cards can act as a stepping stone for the uninitiated to get acquainted with contactless banking before trying more modern methods like Digital Wallets or UPI.
