I have an International Visa debit card from Tamilnad Mercantile Bank & I was able to purchase a premium Steam account with it without having to enter any "Verified by Visa" code.

Hi guyz...
I did posted a query about which bank is better though I would like to post it again..

So, I found Axis bank provides highest discounts for online shopping.
I'm of15 and am I eligible to have an account (no student acc)
What will be the total $$$ needed for it

yeah. Rs. 10,000 quarterly balance is what needs to be maintained for Axis. Can be tough for students.

I'm being offered a zero balance savings account ("Youth account" as they say) by Axis.Plus point were zero balance and customised debit card (custom design also available along with their templates).But the catch is that they're charging 400/- annual maintenance charge, which is just too much. SBI charges 50/- (earlier it was 100), HDFC 200, ICICI also around 200 (not sure). So I rejected. Or should I go with it guys ?

Thing is I myself don't know if I shall ever do an international transaction. Steam was a possibility, but with lesser time available day by day, it also seems a far cry.

Its supposed to be capable, after all they aren't going to provide maestro. :p But recently, many people reported failure of even axis cards, that leaves me thinking. :|

Less than a week back I bought Humble Indie Bundle with my dads Axis Bank debit card. Made payment using Google Checkout.

Opened Axis bank Youth account. They gave custom skinned debit card (Visa), online banking etc.. It is a zero balance account. The only catch is that they will take around 400 Rs per year from account as maintenance charge. Went through Verified by Visa process too.

But Google Wallet did not accepted my card. Contacted Axis bank customer care and I was told that they are facing this issue since the currencies started displaying in INR on Apple store and Google Wallet. It looks like credit card is the only way to go.

I'm looking out for getting a card against fixed deposit from HDFC or ICICI. I hear that some banks requires you to keep 20'000 Quarterly minimum balance - so I guess I won't be able to get the card till first quarter completes - i.e. 3 months.

I wonder about what these corporate are trying to make us believe :-(

I already have it. SBI, UBI, IDBI. Plus there's bro's CC whenever I need it. So Axis will be just used for showing off a flashy card !?!
