Unlimited IR packs, Discounted IR packs for Families travelling together, Lounge
Access, Travel Insurance and Baggage protection.
Leading telecom operator Vi has partnered with travel banking fintech
Niyo, to Provide Zero Markup Forex Card
delivery for Vi customers travelling abroad this holiday season. This first-of-its-kind
partnership by a telco, enables Vi customers travelling overseas on holiday,
business or higher education to receive a Niyo Zero Forex Markup Card delivered
to their doorstep within 24 hours.
With the Niyo partnership, Vi is adding a strong financial convenience
layer to this travel ecosystem. Vi Customers can request for the Zero mark-up
Niyo Forex card on Vi App. A Niyo executive will assist Vi users with KYC
verification, card setup and a trial transaction. Customers can input their name
and pin code details to determine if their location is serviced by Niyo
Express. For locations outside of the Express purview, customers can download
the Niyo App and activate their card digitally.
As a special
introductory offer for Vi customers, Niyo
is offering their flagship Niyo Premium service (worth Rs 999/ year) completely
free, which gives travellers a host of benefits such as:
●
Rs 10,000 worth of
annual savings on travel
●
Zero convenience fee on
visa & flight bookings on Niyo app
●
Flat 10% off on
international hotels on Niyo app
●
1 free lounge access
every quarter
●
1 free ATM withdrawal
every quarter
Accepted in more than 180 countries, the Niyo Forex card processes
international transactions at base exchange rates and helps customers avoid the
usual 3 to 5 percent forex mark-up that
increases the cost of spending overseas.
This new initiative aligns with Vi’s continued focus on strengthening
its International Roaming proposition combining first in Industry propositions
for the benefit of International Travellers. Recently Vi had announced special
roaming discounts for secondary members on Vi Family Postpaid plans, whereby
Secondary members receive a 10 percent discount and REDX Family users receive a
25 percent discount on IR packs. Vi also partnered
with Aditya Birla Health Insurance to offer Travel Insurance cover of Rs.40
Lakh, at an attractive price point — just Rs.285 with all Vi IR Packs.
Additionally, Vi’s partnership with Blue Ribbon Bags extends delayed/lost baggage
protection with compensation of up to Rs 19,800 per bag at just Rs 99.
With the latest Niyo Forex Card offering, Vi has built a comprehensive and
convenient international travel experience proposition for its customers,
blending seamless connectivity, smarter spending and dependable protection from
the moment they leave the country’s shores, till their return.
