Welcoming Union Bank Elite Metal Debit Card!!

it's true going by the book... used to happen earlier when the banks manually debited bulk salary from current account of company and credit to individual salary accounts....(Hence, banks would prefer having both accounts in their bank only).....however, the practice is now going away since salary credit happens through portals/systems. So, currently many PSUs open salary accounts without cross checking the company's current accounts.......
try in another branch - they may do it with just a payslip/ID card.
i went to my nearest branch....they told me that if your company has a current account with us only then we can open a salary account otherwise i have to open normal savings account....is it true...any1 has any idea?
Nope, NOT true. I opened only with Aadhaar, PAN and photo. No other documents, no tie up with my company. The executive did not even ask me what is my salary. Just asked my company name.
 
I switched from HDFC to UBI and they offered me Union Bank Elite metal card. RM was super helpful. Here are the key benefits:
  • No joining fees or No annual fees (with eligible salary account).
  • Domestic airport lounge access & International airport lounge access.
  • Discounts on entertainment (e.g., BookMyShow). Once per month, upto 500
  • Ride-hailing vouchers (e.g., Ola/Uber). Once per quarter

That's a nice set of benefits.
Congratulations!!!
Can you explain in details on the aspects like eligiblity criteria and number of complimentary lounge access provided?
I need to talk to the bank and see if I can get this on my NRE or NRO savings account. I also hope they launch a good premium metal credit card as their current top credit card is pretty useless.

Sirji....hence, i mentioned "by the book" and that the practice is going away..... yours is an exceptional experience bcz of the cooperative/smart branch executive (who even told you that salary credit is not required, just a credit/debit would do)...... other people in the forum may share their experience that usually payslip or a letter is being asked for openinig a salary account in PSU (for people without any jaan pehchaan with the BM/staff)!

Even Union Bank website mentions one single credit of 1.5L per month will be considered as salary credit. The smart executive went by the books 😁😁

Also, other people already shared their experience that salary credit is not required and that was the reason why I went to branch to open this account 😊

In that case, it's good then! 🙂
