So, keeping FD of 10k, counts as PRO account?

Yes.

 

[krishc]

If you have a sum of around rs 10,000 rotate it in jupiter acc for 15-20 days every mnth or just create a FD of the same.. You will be counted as PRO!

this is what I've started doing since last month
I'll definitely avoid the AMC by being PRO for 6+ months

Even spending with Jupiter card is less rewarding.

I have that account for literally no reason. Just added 1 FD initially during account opening of around 30K and then left it like that. I do transactions once in a while to prevent from dormancy, that's it.

Strange to see such trends.

Inviting customers promising them the moon.

Stumping n threatening them with charges from a future date. Even for virtual cards.

Forcing a majority of them to place a FD.

Giving a false status tag of a PRO - even for insignificant n short term FDs.

Levying closure charges - so that customers choose to stay back.

However, it is a new way of asking for deposits - without actually asking.

Deceptive n camouflaged marketing.

 

[RAMESH BABU N]

This is the result of non-Bankers, techies n marketing/sales guys floating n running banks nowadays.

Giving new meanings to words like promises, trust, commitment, long term relationship, loyalty....

I am eager to know how many of these so-called Bankers are really true Bankers - of having qualified specific banking industry exams like JAIIB and CAIIB ?

Chaps selling soaps n toothpastes n plots n apartments are now heading sales teams in these new fin-tech ventures.

Any of you guys tried to complain to RBI about the dc charges?
🙂

Against whom you are going to complaint with the RBI? Jupiter? Jupiter isn't regulated by RBI. If you are going to register a complaint against federal bank then federal bank is already charging for debit cards.

Yeah,, you have complain against federal Bank. They are the banking partner. Jupiter account is a federal Bank account which is only manager by Jupiter.

In rbi bo there is debit card charges related section..

Jupiter debit card is a cobranded debit card and federal bank is already charging for their debit cards.

Yeah.. but initially it was offered as lifetime free.

& Its highly unethical for then to charge the old customer who got it for free..

Received mail from Federal bank for KYC Updation.

 

[krishc]

I've been receiving this every alternate day.
Will close the account today.
Because I received this in September as well, couldn't do re-kyc because of the stupid nature of Federal-Jupiter partnership but Jupiter support managed to temporarily waive off the requirement.
But as we can see it's back very soon after.
