I get what you’re saying, Federal Bank can be really slow and unclear at times. You’re definitely not the only one facing this. Many people have had random limit changes or long delays without any proper explanation.
Since your Imperio card is already approved, they should’ve at least given a...
It’s a pretty common issue with YES Bank’s video KYC link, it often expires if the session is interrupted or if you switch devices.
A few things you can try:
1. Clear browser cache and try again on mobile: Sometimes the “Session Expired” message shows up because the link carries your previous...
A lot of people used IDFC bank because it gave higher interest rate. Now I think they have also bought down their interest rates and rewards points. I'm not sure about this
Honestly, none of us are surprised.
From the beginning, it was pretty clear that a high-reward debit card program like this wouldn’t last forever. It’s a familiar pattern with Indian banks, launch a product packed with irresistible perks to attract users, and once it gains popularity, start...

If your CKYC record isn’t found while opening a new SBI savings account through YONO, it usually means your KYC details haven’t been updated in the central CKYC database yet, even if you’ve completed KYC earlier with another bank.

Totally get where you’re coming from, a lot of us have gone through something similar with traditional LIC plans sold as “safe investments.” You’ve done the right thing by re-evaluating it early.
Since you’ve already completed 3 years, your policy has acquired a surrender value, so you do have...
It’s actually pretty common to see such a big difference between PolicyBazaar and the insurer’s official website. This usually happens because of platform-specific discounts, commissions, or the way add-ons and GST are calculated. Sometimes aggregators show limited-time offers or don’t include a...
You usually can’t get the ICICI Sapphiro LTF directly unless it’s part of a limited offer or through a relationship-based upgrade. The best option is to keep using your existing ICICI cards regularly and maintain good spends and repayment history. You can then contact ICICI customer care or your...
