So, have you got any intimation regarding the upgrade to unsecured? It was said that within 6 months they will upgrade it to unsecured, when I was asking about it at the time of joining. It's almost year now, nothing on it.

What's happening with your OneCard Lite?
In fact it was just yesterday that I had a long telephone call with their customer care regarding this. I had actually called to ask about the procedure for closing the FD and Card. The reason I took a secured card is that then, my city was not in the list of serviceable cities. So I had no choice but to get an FD of 50K for the metal card (Not Lite). A couple of weeks after getting the card, my area too, became serviceable. In fact my wife took a OneCard after that and it's unsecured.

I was told that as of now, there is upgrade program to unsecured, available. I was free to close my FD and thus the card if I wanted too. They don't seem concerned about retention. I'm gonna wait for some more days before going ahead as if I close the FD before 6 months, I lose on 3K as some kind of fine. It's a lesser amount for the Lite version.

In conclusion, they have no idea as of now if and when they will start upgrading from secured to unsecured.

That's totally an unethical practice from them. They were canvasing customers by offered Unsecured upgrade in few months. But now they are keeping complete silence on this. Seems like their aim was to pump some fund to partner bank as per their deal.

Also if you close before 1 year, 1% will be deducted. Keep that in mind as well if you are closing after 6 months but before 1 year.

In Cibil now my onecard is showing as Unsecured credit card. How about yours?

@fatehbajwa @StanRoute66

Reports from Cibil & Experian. Its was mentioned as Secured Credit Card until January 2022. Now it's mentioned as Credit Card (All Unsecured cards are mentioned as credit cards)

Hope it helps.
