Q. Why international transactions are not enabled at the time of purchase in union bank of India?
This may be due to some of the reasons I mentioned below:-
- It may be due to your extra safety for international fraudulent.
- It can be because they consider this as extra service which every customer is bound to have as many people use domestic payments at every time or if the customer issues it can be provided.
- Maybe because you bought the card from the bank where they provide their standard card not enabled for it. But it is available for users bought from an online store.

Let me tell you that every service and options, as well as your money, operates upon money.

Even many people say that if they deposit millions they would earn some more but actually its an illusion.
Nothing is for free.
But nevertheless, we have to get back into the topic.

Q. Is there any charge or fee for an international debit card in Ubi?
Hmm, yes somewhat around 2.5 % per transaction let me give my experience so I bought a product of Rs 191.46 so my Ubi bank charged me around 4.78 rs extra so, the total is 196.94 ~ 197.
And when I checked my Ubi statements I was shocked the bank charged me 118rs and again 118rs consecutively.
When I asked about it, they weren’t confirmed but answered me the first one for having a debit card and the other for international service.
So, I am not too confirmed but I will try and experiment so I can confirm it as soon as possible.
