I watched a video about the Niyo card on YouTube and decided to get one for myself and my parents. Since receiving the card, I've used it in the UAE and found it to be widely accepted everywhere. My experience with Niyo has been fantastic!

I have been using the Niyo DCB debit card as well Equitas debit card for POS payments in UK, Europe, Turkey, Bahrain, Dubai and Azerbaijan. I have taken out minimal cash from ATM but most of the transactions have been from POS and few times online, while paying visa fee.

Niyo is that blessing in disguise that we all wanted but nobody offered. It is a one stop solution for any kind of money transaction you would like to do abroad. I have been a loyal user of Niyo for past 2 years and have already referred a dozen people in my circle.

During our recent trip to Dubai, the Niyo card was a lifesaver. We used it everywhere, just like a regular ATM card and it never let us down. Whether we were dining out or shopping, the Niyo card was there, making everything easy and hassle-free. It really made our trip a lot smoother and we'll definitely be taking it with us on our future travels.

I've taken Niyo debit and credit cards on three international trips, and they've been absolutely flawless. The real game-changer? Zero foreign conversion fees! The Niyo app has also made managing travel expenses so much easier and economical. Highly recommended for anyone traveling abroad!
