Both banks have branch near by. This would be my primary account since ICICI closed my account today. Hence looking for good service and offers

IDFC. Just because they are small and growing hence branch are less crowded and much more customer friendly.
Overall package HDFC is still better.

IDFC is good. HDFC is market leader.

Idfc i see, they’re aggressive and expanding very rapidly, recently leased citi hq. They open branch very close to hdfc in most posh location.
They even copied millenia name for their cc i think .

It’s a bank trying very hard

Yup. Got a mail that my account violated terms and condition and it would close automatically, closed today.

With them since January 2020.

Really liked their service and customer centric approach.

Also, you get monthly interest and CC is powerful with reward points on wallet load, No cap.

Also promotions every now and them for spend based reward. Even though interest rates have reduced, still they are very competent and amongst the best in market.

Yes withdraw all balance and closed FD. No idea what I did but they said my transactions appear to be of business nature and said to get a current account.

6+ months passed nothing yet for me. Reason could be my location and not even pre-approved offers yet.

Hdfc will also do similar or more drama then. I’d say go with Idfc.
They’re new so maybe they’ll be lenient with the nature of your transaction.

Yeah, that’s the problem when I apply by myself. But pre-approved offers are not location specific na?
