Steam Wallet cards coming to India

[Aman27deep]

Steam's wallet system is being given a boost in India, as now MCV India has reported that Steam Wallet cards are officially coming to India. The system, allows you to have pre-paid cash available in your steam account, so you can buy anything from the Steam Store (including but not limited to Games and DLCs) later, just like Xbox points on the Xbox 360 and PSN cards for the PS3 and the PS Vita.

This will especially be of high use to people who can't use their debit/credit cards on steam, or don't have a card to use on the same.

The steam cards are being brought to India by Cybergames India. Exact denominations of these cards are unknown as of now - but it is being expected that some amount close to $20 and $50 will be used, as the same denomination system is currently being used in North America.

Cybergames India say that the cards will be available in India "very soon", but that have not given a proper release date.

Which Bank's Debit card work on steam?

Let me re-collect, for me, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and AXIS Bank debit cards worked. All are VISA.

 

[itspriyank]

When did you used them last? My Credit card has now expired and I am looking to get a new account in one of the above banks.

 

[rajkumar_pb]

Last time i used was during Summer sale. And a week after summer sale, i used it to top-up my Steam Wallet. BTW Open an account from AXIS/HDFC bank.

 

[itspriyank]

I have had an account in HDFC Bank but my card never worked there.

 

[rajkumar_pb]

^^ lol. I can't understand what kind of sorcery is this. I used my cards in Steam and so far no issue. Better try Canara Bank or BoB a/c. BTW Those are VISA Electron i tested.

 

[itspriyank]

I have a Syndicate Bank Visa Electron Card but that too does not work. The Only one which used to work was my HDFC Credit Card. By which card you purchased during summer sale.

 

[rajkumar_pb]

I used Canara Bank and Bank of Baroda, VISA Electron Debit Card. It just works fine.
