AU Bank Zenith Credit Card Review

Although the AU Bank Zenith Credit Card comes with a high membership fee of ₹7,999 per annum, premium benefits, including complimentary domestic/international airport and railway lounge visits, dedicated concierge service, and a lower foreign currency markup fee of 1.99%, justify the high annual membership fee. The only shortcoming of the Zenith Credit Card is that you don’t get any complimentary golf or movie benefits.

Current competitors of the card in the market include HDFC Infinia Credit Card, Times Black ICICI Bank Credit Card, SBI Aurum Credit Card, and Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card, which also offer very similar features but carry a slightly higher membership fee.
