AU NOMO (No Missing Out) Credit Card is a secured credit card issued against AU Small Finance Fixed Deposits. The card is issued against a low minimum FD amount of Rs. 10,000. This makes it a suitable choice for those who are not eligible for unsecured credit cards due to the absence of a credit score, credit history, or lack of income proof documents. The card comes with several benefits, including reward points, milestone benefits, free lounges at airports and railways, a low forex markup fee, etc. The best part is that while availing themselves of these benefits, users can continue to earn interest on the pledged fixed deposits.

Being a secured credit card, the AU NOMO Credit card brings users the best of both—a high return rate of up to 7.75% on fixed deposits and credit card-linked benefits around travel, rewards, and UPI transactions. Though there is a one-time joining fee of Rs. 199, the card is free the second year onwards.
For a zero annual fee, this card offers some exceptionally good features around travel, like a low forex markup fee of 0.99% and decent frequency on railway and airport lounge access. Except for these, most features on the card, including the reward rate of up to 0.5%, are very basic. Having said that, unlike most cards that come with a long list of exclusions, here card users are awarded with frequent opportunities to earn rewards. Users can earn rewards on often excluded categories like utilities, insurance, and UPI transactions. An additional 500 bonus rewards are offered on card activation, thus a value-back of Rs. 125 for a one-time joining fee of Rs. 199, based on the per-reward value of Rs. 0.25. Further, unlike most credit cards that offer milestone rewards once a year, this card offers it four times, due to quarterly spend thresholds.
