Debit cards have become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether you need to pay your utility bills, shop for daily necessities, or withdraw cash during an emergency, you can use a debit card to fulfil your requirements. But what if someone told you that you can even save money using a debit card?
Although it seems a bit exaggerated, it’s true. If you use a debit card judiciously, you can maximise your savings and avoid an unwanted cash crunch. Continue reading to know how.
How to save money by using a debit card
You already know what the uses of a debit card are. Let’s now discuss how you can use a debit card to save –
One of the reasons why many people fail to achieve their desired savings is because they have a habit of overspending. If you too are facing this issue, you can set a monthly spending limit on your debit card. By doing so, you won’t be able to spend more than a certain threshold in a month. Less spending will subsequently lead to more savings. It also helps mitigate transactional risks.
Debit cards to suit your lifestyle needs
Usually, banks provide different types of debit cards to cater to the diverse requirements of their customers, helping maximise savings and suiting lifestyle needs. These debit cards are designed to provide you with exclusive benefits as per your profile.
For example, with the IDFC FIRST Bank, you can choose from a range of debit card variants and enjoy benefits like complimentary access to airport lounges, free insurance coverage, roadside assistance, and attractive discounts on dining and shopping.
