Axis Bank has started dispatching new debit cards as part of the Citibank → Axis transition. Here’s what you need to know:
Dispatch and Activation Timeline:
- Expect your new Axis debit card to arrive within 15 business days.
- Your Citi-branded debit card will remain active until December 31, 2024, its expiry date, or when you activate the new card, whichever happens first.
Keep Using Citi Debit Card Until December 31:
- Axis claims that existing benefits will continue after the switch.
- However, some users reported losing Citi-exclusive perks after replacing their card with an Axis-branded one.
- To avoid any interruptions, it’s advisable to stick to using your Citi debit card until the end of the year.
Stay alert and make the switch only when you’re ready to transition fully to Axis!
