Debit-Cum Credit Card: More For Less

In banking industry we have experienced three kinds of cards. Debit cards, Credit cards and Pre-paid cards. Now some banks have come up with fourth kind in its category which will reduce the weight of your wallet.

Union Bank of India and IndusInd Bank have come up with a new innovative type of card that is combination of the two cards into one. Union Bank of India named its card 'Combo' and launched on it's centenary year in November 2018 and IndusInd Bank had launched it's Card just one month ago in October 2018, called 'Duo'.

These dual cards look similar to regular debit or Credit Cards but they have been modified with technology. It has two chips on the face of the card; one chip that functions as a debit card (and linked to your savings bank account) and another chip that functions like a credit card. Both these chips are placed on the two opposite ends of the card.

Apart from two chips on the face of the card, there are two magnetic stripes on the back of the card. Depending on the mode of transaction (debit or credit) customer just need to present that particular side at point of sale (POS) system to swipe or dip.
