Hi All, it seems now we will get a printed receipts after every recharge. That is really great, from now atleast we can keep a record on how much we are spending in travelling and commuting.
Even I heard that Namma Metro is going to provide discounts on travelling for commuters having smart cards depending on the amount it is recharged with. Yahoo :D :D
Is thei smar card for only those who have ICICI credit and debit card. Passengers who are not having ICICI credit or debit card. Can they apply for this card?
New customers can apply for the card by sending 'UNIFARE DBN' for debit cards or 'UNIFARE CBN' for credit cards to 5676766. Applications can also be made through the bank's branches.
ICICI bank tied up with Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation is going to launch ICICI Bank Unifare Bangalore Metro card to offer credit and debit card benefits to the travelers.
This card has unique feature of auto recharge of Rs. 200 when the balance drops below Rs. 100. So the commuters having this smart card need not have to wait in queues at ticket counters.
Benefits of having ICICI Bank Unifare Bangalore Metro Card are as follows:
1) Passengers can redeem reward points collected on their card for free metro rides
2) 2.5% fuel surcharge waiver across HPCL pumps if the transaction is swiped on an ICICI Merchant Services’ machine.
