Overview

The AU Bank ABC Pro Credit Card sits in the mid-tier of AU Small Finance Bank’s credit card range. Issued in partnership with Aditya Birla Finance, it charges ₹999 plus GST as both joining and annual fee. The joining fee gets waived if you spend ₹15,000 within the first 30 days of card issuance. The annual fee gets waived when yearly spending crosses ₹1.5 lakh, which works out to roughly ₹12,500 per month in regular purchases.Rewards follow a tiered structure: 10 points per ₹200 on travel, dining, entertainment, and international transactions; 6 points per ₹200 on online purchases; and 4 points per ₹200 on offline spends. Each point is worth ₹0.20, giving a 1% effective return on premium categories and 0.4% on everyday offline purchases. Points remain valid for 2 years from the statement month, though each redemption carries a ₹99 plus GST processing fee.Lounge access is notable for this price point: 2 domestic airport visits per quarter (on ₹20,000 quarterly spend) and 1 international visit per year through Priority Pass. Insurance coverage is generous for a mid-tier card, with ₹50 lakh air accident cover, credit shield up to ₹50 lakh, and travel protection for baggage loss, flight delays, and passport loss. The 1.99% foreign currency markup is among the lowest available on any Indian credit card.This card works well for people who split spending across travel, dining, and online purchases, and want airport lounge access without a premium annual fee. The EazyDiner partnership adds value for regular restaurant visitors, with up to 30% off at over 300 partner restaurants. For those spending above ₹1.5 lakh annually, the card costs nothing in fees. Heavier spenders looking for higher base reward rates across all categories should consider cards with flat-rate reward structures instead.

Pros

↑1.99% forex markup is among the lowest across Indian credit cards, making it a strong option for international transactions where most cards charge 3% to 3.5%
↑2 domestic airport lounge visits per quarter and 1 international visit yearly through Priority Pass, offering solid lounge access at the ₹999 annual fee level
↑₹50 lakh air accident cover and credit shield, plus travel protection for baggage loss, flight delay, and passport loss, which is notably generous for a mid-tier card
↑10x reward points on travel, dining, entertainment, and international spends gives a 1% effective return on these premium categories
↑Up to 30% off at 300+ partner restaurants through EazyDiner, with complimentary EazyDiner membership on reaching ₹2.5 lakh annual spend

Cons

↓Base reward rate of 4 points per ₹200 on offline spends translates to just 0.4% value, lower than many competitor cards that give 1% or more across all categories
↓₹99 plus GST redemption fee applies on every reward points redemption, reducing the net value of accumulated points, especially for frequent small redemptions
↓Domestic lounge access requires ₹20,000 quarterly spend, while some competitor cards at similar fee levels provide unconditional access
↓No specific accelerated rewards for grocery, utility, or bill payment categories, leaving regular household spending at the lowest earn rate
