Why am I being asked to make a Fixed Deposit?

FIRST WOW! Black Credit Card is issued against a fixed deposit. That’s why, to set your credit limit, you need to create a FD. Upon successful creation of your FD, a lien will be marked on 100% of the FD value.
Once done, your FD will be linked to your FIRST WOW! Black Credit Card and your credit limit will be set.

    Here are the benefits of a credit card backed by an FD:
  • • No income proof required: Customers can obtain a credit card without providing any income proof. Besides working professionals, this is useful for homemakers, students, and freelancers.
  • • Helps build credit history: Using your credit card regularly and paying off the outstanding dues on time will help create a good credit history and credit score.
  • • Earn interest on fixed deposit: Cardholders can continue to earn interest on their fixed deposits, while enjoying interest free credit for up to 45 days.
