Horrible experience with Indusind bank so far

Pankhuri

I got an offer for Legend ltf in April, so applied for it. The whole applying process to getting the card was super smooth. But since then this card have become a headache for me. I got this card simply to use during bank specific offers. I knew Indusind offers were limited but what's the harm in ltf card.

Now coming to issues, due to some unforseeable expenses in the last 20 days, I had to use this card upto 25% of the limit. Since I have used the card for 2 big purchases, Indusind customer care is calling me every other day trying to offer some emi conversion. Not only that but daily I get 2-3 sms from Indusind about the same thing. Before this card, I have only used SBI card for some big purchases but never got this kind of call from them. Max they do is to send sms about flexipay a day or two after the purchase. I have told customer care to not to call as I don't wish to convert my purchases to emi. Everytime customer care executive says ok, I will update in system that you don't want to be contacted through call, but I still keep on getting calls.


Another issue I faced when trying to cancel an emi purchase. The order was returned and Amazon refunded the amount. I call customer care to cancel the emi plan. First the customer care told me that they can't do it on call, I will need to mail them. Which was not good when compared to other banks but fine. First time I tried to mail them, google tells me that Email address doesn't exist. Then after few tries mail goes through, only for me to get an email saying my email was caught in spam filter at Indusind. A day later I get message they have recieved the issue and will take care of it in 3 working days. It's been 5 and no reply from their side.

This bad customer service is not just online. I tried opening a zero balance account online with hopes of converting to select savings account by visiting the bank. I did the onlime part a month back, but didn't get the time to visit branch till yesterday. I talked to a guy in branch and told him I opened this account and wish to upgrade it to select. I told him specifically that I have not completed vkyc( this was bad on my part) and wish to do kyc too. I also told him I wish to deposit ₹50k so the select upgrade process go smoothly and asked specifically would it be a problem due to lack of kyc. He assures me it won't be. I can go ahead and deposit money. Now my bad luck is doing numbers these days as I spent close to 30 minutes to deposit money. After that I went to the earlier counter again and completed the kyc process. Then they tell me that since they don't have my sign in system due to no kyc, I would need to return in 2-3 days to apply for select upgrade. Another bummer, but fine,whatever. I came back only to get a call from bank branch that I would need to come back to branch and take my deposit back as they can't credit it to my account due to lack of kyc. Wtf. The guy from the counter made some excuses but ultimately I needed to visit branch again to take back the deposited amount.
 
Issue is that my mobile is linked to credit card customer ID. And if I try to link bank account it asks for debit card info. When opening online account, my payment for debit card failed and since my intention was to upgrade to select, I never tried for one again. In my mail I got messages earlier of a debit card but have recieved none and have no idea how to get details of it if it is virtual.
Then You have to Wait for Physical DC.
Call the Customer Care in morning and ask them all your questions:-

If your Account is upgraded or not.

If Select DC is generated or Request for Select DC is registered or not.
If answer is no then ask them to take request for Select DC.

After request is placed via Customer Care for DC. Card will be generated same day and you will receive it in next few days.


Btw another question, can I add my cousin to add-on account too or is it only restricted to immediate family members?
Offically Family Banking is for immediate Family members only

But Do not tell them he/she is your cousin. Tell them he/she is your Brother/Sister
Then Most likely you will not face any problem

They are asking for relationship proof to open a addon account for family members
 
Just tell the RM that you are ready to make some investments, and he will gladly add anyone. 😄 Jokes aside, if you have a good relationship with your RM, he can assist you with the add-on account.
They are hungry for Add on Accounts, Add on Credit Cards, Loans, FD etc...

That is why they are providing a Premium Account with a effective Zero AMB just for cross selling other Products.
 
Exactly!! Whenever I call my RM, he never forgets to remind me that he would like to see more investments or if I can share some leads with him for individuals who might be interested in opening an account with them. 🤣
Har bank ka yahi scene hai. HDFC Bank wala RM bhi bola tha mujhe. Kuch din baad main apna account bhi close karva diya. 😛
