How to change Fi account to regular Federal Bank account?

[rusty17]

Does anyone know about the process of switching from a Fi savings account to a regular federal bank account. I have some concerns about the stability and security of neo banks, especially after hearing some rumors that rbi might crack down on them.

I also think that having a direct relationship with the bank might give me some advantages in terms of getting loans or credit cards in the future. I have noticed that the bank's mobile app works fine with the account I created through Fi, and it seems like a normal account except for the branch name that says Neobanking. Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to do this conversion?

Contacted them via email.

Their reply is to contact a nearby branch. smh.

Apparently one cannot open more than one account via videokyc. Don't know why they can't just convert my account type. I'll see if I can visit a branch sometime.

You might have to open a new account.
You can try opening it online.
Their selfie account is zero balance.

I think I will have to close the Fi account first before opening new account with federal. According to their customer care rep a customer cannot open more than one account via videokyc.

You don't have to convert.
Every user already have a Federal account and Fi is more of interface wrapper.
Explore the forgot User ID and forgot password method to login to Fednet. (By account number + mobile method)
Having said that, don't worry. Your money is already in regular Federal bank.
Continue with Fi only
