Axis Bank Custom Debit Card Steve Jobs

Here is something interesting for Axis Bank Savings account holders that owns a debit card. For the first time in India Axis bank is allowing its customers to design and customize debit cards with a background image of their choice. They want you to have a debit card that reflects your identity. Axis bank calls it MyDesign debit card and for this they have set up a dedicated page with details on how to design one for yourself and get it printed out. The best part is all these can be done without having to visit bank premises, right from your desktop.

Prerequisites for Axis Bank MyDesign Debit Card:

  • Savings Account with Debit card (Visa or MasterCard)
  • Internet Banking Account
  • High Resolution Image

Now head over to MyDesign website if you fulfill the aforementioned prerequisites. MyDesign page lets you upload own image or select one from their online gallery. If you are uploading an image from your PC make sure it is in JPEG, GIF, TIFF or PNG formats and is less than 4MB in size with a minimum photo resolution of 1010×638 pixels. This is to make sure that your MyDesign custom debit card with background image is of high quality. Alternately you can select an image from the gallery with 175 awesome pictures that includes categories like Landscape, Zodiac Signs, Tourist Sports and Wildlife. Make use of the gallery and drop down menu below MyDesign page to select and upload.

If you use own image it is then loaded to MyDesign debit card editor from where you can customize it accordingly. First of all select between Visa or MasterCard and then proceed with image alignment. Drag the image with mouse or use the arrows on right side to move it in all directions. Use the slider below to zoom in and out, only if you use a very high-resolution image (to avoid poor quality). The image can also be inverted, rotated and centered using tool set. Make sure you select proper text font color (white and black) based on the image color for proper visibilty of what is being engraved on your card, which is very important too.

Once done editing hit ‘Continue’ and then ‘Accept’ to proceed with card order. Be ready with Internet Banking passwords so that you can pay and order it online from the comforts of your home or office. If everything goes fine you will get your MyDesign card delivered to your address with in a week.

Axis bank charges a fee of Rs 150 for Image Debit Card created using MyDesign facility. Also Re 1 would be charged for an online application. With MyDesign debit card you get all the benefits that was earlier active on your default Visa or MasterCard. Again existing debit card holders be it Visa or MasterCard can switch to debit card variants of your choice subjected to eligibilty. It is also worth noting that these image debit cars will not be a photo card (one with your Photo ID), which Axis bank by default issues to all its customers.
