Vi has partnered with travel banking fintech Niyo, to Provide Zero Markup Forex Card delivery for Vi customers travelling abroad this holiday season.

This first-of-its-kind partnership by a telco, enables Vi customers travelling overseas on holiday, business or higher education to receive a Niyo Zero Forex Markup Card delivered to their doorstep within 24 hours.

With the Niyo partnership, Vi is adding a strong financial convenience layer to this travel ecosystem. Vi Customers can request for the Zero mark-up Niyo Forex card on Vi App.

A Niyo executive will assist Vi users with KYC verification, card setup and a trial transaction. Customers can input their name and pin code details to determine if their location is serviced by Niyo Express.

For locations outside of the Express purview, customers can download the Niyo App and activate their card digitally.

As a special introductory offer for Vi customers, Niyo is offering their flagship Niyo Premium service (worth Rs 999/ year) completely free, which gives travellers a host of benefits such as:

  • Rs 10,000 worth of annual savings on travel
  • Zero convenience fee on visa & flight bookings on Niyo app
