I never heard anything like biometric verification for axis bank credit card.. Is there anything as such or anything to be scared??

Please help
 
I recently applied for Airtel Axis credit card and the online application was rejected due to some network issue.
someone from the axis bank called me and said they will arrange a person for verification
the guy came and took my Aadhar number and pan number
he asked me to provide the thumb imprint on his device for verification
then he asked me to unlock my biometrics on UDAI.
I simply rejected the card as i dint want to take a chance.
more over they dint even showed me the axis bank employee cards.
 
How did you get your SIM card then?
why dint you ask: how did i got my other credit cards? fyi none of them asked for biometrics till date..
also, i have no problem to provide my biometrics when i visit their branch office, its just that someone comes to your doorsteps saying we are from so and so bank without even showing their ID, they start collecting my details for which i am not comfortable.
btw i got my sim card from a retail outlet some 12years ago. why do you ask?

You should be afraid of this thing first
why dint you ask: how did i got my other credit cards?
Pretty sure some of them have done your VKYC, and physical address verification. Did you ask for their ID cards? Many banks hire 3rd party agents for verification as well. Are you sure you gave consent for the data that had been shared with 3rd party services?
i have no problem to provide my biometrics
It seems you have a problem with it, let's face it.

With biometrics pretty sure! Did you ask for their ID that time?


Afaik Axis, Kotak do biometric
If you feel like you have problem with it then my guess is that you have problem with everything revolving around any banks.
 
Anyway my point is regardless of the situation you could have asked him for his home branch and connected with any employee instead of ranting here and expecting every bank to follow the same way.
I hope you read TnCs on every website.
 
You are expecting the same thing from all the banks! Everyone operates differently.
never been a customer of axis bank or its products.
now, i have no idea on how they operate and this is not the way you deal with a prospective customer.
anyways i may be wrong but i wanted to be on safe side.

I could have only if i had enough time to spare with them. I was just sharing my experience just to understand if this is normal, Please go through the documents required for this card. https://www.airtel.in/finance/credit-card/axis-bank/documents
they have not mentioned anywhere about unlocking my biometrics.
I am fine with providing all other documentations.

My take was not specific to Axis but on a generic view. Every banks are shit when it comes to maintaining privacy.
