Muvin wallet is gonna close soon

Most prepaid card business will close, fampay may survive because investors have already poured a lot of money in it. I think it’s trying to be like cred where UI&UX is going to be their main focus it may work also, because Paytm, phone, mobikwik have become too cluttered.

I do feel most of these prepaid cards or wallet companies (Talking about companies whose only product is this one) are not bringing anything unique.
They just offer a prepaid card just like their competitors, with some colourfull cards :woozy_face:

I also agree with your point. Most prepaid cards are not targeting the main problems or needs of the customer, such as budgeting, a smooth uncluttered UI/UX, UPI with the prepaid wallet, auto-add money features, etc.

@Aswin_Benny I agree with your point that a prepaid card should be more than a colorful card. OmniCard, one of the prepaid wallets, provides both a RuPay keychain and an unlimited virtual prepaid card, which is a good thing. A prepaid wallet should be a payment ecosystem consisting of a prepaid card, UPI, and keychain/NFC tag, etc.

Well if you are trying through Payzapp route, then no luck but yesterday I opened HDFC app and and in Inbox I saw offer for this card and interestingly it said I was eligible for this card and I applied and got it instantly even though Payzapp still shows not eligible. As @BeingIncog bro pointed out not a great card but it’s good for 99 rs annual fee and 25000 spend for annual fee waiver. So go for it if you are eligible.

This means we can still do UPI if it is linked the other Bank account not the Paytm bank right?

But why?

Finally some good news, I reported against Paytm many times, but Paytm don’t resolved my problem, they don’t take any action.

Then I stopped to use Paytm payments Bank, usually I use payment bank for daily transaction to unknown merchants and persons to safeguard my original accounts , I always share Paytm UPI id to every app and users to receive money via UPI, then I transfer the full money to the original account.

Paytm bank UPI working with zero failure and full control easily accessible by the app.

But they sell your personal data , their is no data privacy, they refund failed transaction to longtime , many problems with Paytm.

Paytm says it will move payments business to other banks.
