Read the first part to understand my existing relationship with IndusInd Bank before getting the Pioneer account.
First Part
Here’s a quick recap — I initially had the IndusInd Select Account, and later got the Legend Credit Card linked to it for 0 MAB.
I got my existing IndusInd Select Account upgraded to Exclusive in June 2025 through my VRM. She called one day, saying I was eligible for an upgrade, and since I was maintaining over ₹1 lakh for a month, I went for it.
After that, I tried for a Pinnacle Credit Card LTF/Conditional LTF through CC — but it got rejected.
A few weeks later, my IDFC DBM moved to IndusInd Bank as the BM of my nearest branch. While chatting with her, I brought up the Pinnacle LTF upgrade again. She tried but couldn’t get it done, instead offered a Grande Account to make the upgrade possible. I preferred going with the Pioneer Account instead — mainly for the Metal Debit Card and its benefits. Plus, I needed to park some emergency funds for my parents in FDs, so it made sense.
I completed all documentation on 13th September 2025 (evening).
✅ Account opened: 17th September
✅ DC generated & delivered: within 5–6 days
It’s a new Pioneer Account in addition to my Exclusive account. I gave consent for my Legend CC (₹4.62L) upgrade to Pinnacle CC on 18th September, and the upgrade was completed around 21st–22nd September. Before that, I split ₹30K to my EazyDiner Platinum and kept ₹4.32L in Legend.
Important note — with Pioneer, banks usually offer Pioneer Legacy LTF, not Pinnacle Grande LTF. They had committed LTF for Pioneer, and I did get approval accordingly.
Further additions:
About the Metal Debit Card:
Initially, my branch wasn’t aware of the process. They said I’d need a ₹20L CASA balance. But after checking with existing Pioneer users, I found out it only requires a form submission + ₹10L in the account. That worked — though the process was delayed slightly due to festive holidays.
Now, I’ve got my Pioneer Legacy Credit Card LTF, linked against a ₹3L FD lien.
