hello guys…. has anyone tried opening an icici pocket savings account?
Update: got all the info i needed….
This this awesome… I mean its SUPER awesome
U get an 0 balance savings account with a international platinum visa debit card …. Yes here international means turely international…. After getting DC all u have to do is contact CC to activate it….
How to apply for saving account:
Click on deposits or iwish… Then u will see apply now
Fill out the details.
U will get a call from the bank(i got it within 30 mins)
Executive will visit at your place for documents and stuffs… U dont need to porvide any xerox copies or anything… They take the pic of originals…. And ofc your pic too :p
This account comes with all features that fulfills everything….here are some
1) 0 balance
2) NEFT free both inwards and outwards
3) international DC
4) 10 leaf cheque book
5) here pocket virtual card and DC both are separate things… I guess everyone knows what we can do with that…
One drawback: we can deposit money physically only once in a month… But it is not of a issue…. Read all the comments, u will come to know why :p
@myliferockkss Actually ICICI claiming that it’s a global card (Check the intro screen of the latest update)
And physical card screenshot shows it’s a chip card with visa platinum category.
So there is a slight chance that, it can be activated for international payments.I can’t try because my debit card linked to savings account is in a pending state for international payment activation.
I request dimer’s to give it a try.If it worked out u can pay google play & paypal …
check this blog for activation procedure

Check my Chat with CS in first page….
Cs executive confirmed that in chat
@myliferockkss Not sure about whether NEFT is free or not.
I didn’t understand what u meant by this ?
“But if u are transfering from other bank account then we have to pay charges”
I was talking about outward remittance.Transferring cash from pocket wallet to ICICI acc is available 24*7 ,which credits instantly (Like IMPS)
To other banks NEFT timing are applicable Which is getting lot of complaints from user’s against unsuccessful transactions.

NEFT outward/inwards both are free on pocket saving account…
But when we transfer from other banks to pocket saving acc we will have to pay charges na(charges will be deducted from other bank account)… Thats what i was saying
Vu. Would like to give a try
Oh. I didn’t noticed that Neft outword fee is nill..
Used to IMPS so just didn’t gave it a look to that portion.Thanks.
But as long loading cash to pocket wallet is free ,I am not gonna fill savings account with any other methods..

Where is the option to open savings a/c? I just see option for physical card.
EDIT: Found and applied. Should I apply for the physical card separately too? The physical card is Visa Platinum but which card they provide on the Zero balance a/c?

Aren’t we missing joy of saving account 6% interest credit?
icici bank sucks ,, i bought a credits card years ago ,, when i was trying to transact using that it failed 2 times ,, but the account statement stated that i have transacted ,, i file a complaint but cc and the bank executive say that you transacted
i showed the transaction declined proof but still they dont belive,, i cracked out the card in front of them and said do wat ever you can
then after 5 notice from the legal adversires i haved to pay it @ 5 % interest
thats was all bullshit icici bank
it does stop here
now when i am apply for a car loan ,, the bank executive which was providing loan says that your loan can nt be passed because you have 25000 pending transaction from 3 year to icici bank.. the loan gets rejected …
fuck you icici bank ,,, dont ever buy and service or card or any thing from icici bank , they are fucking cheaters

The joy of ‘0’ I think is better in this case. Otherwise your 10k is always stuck in your bank account. In my case don’t need another one till it has additional benefits like ICICI bank gives.

I have heard plenty of similar stories from ICICI customers that’s why I am a HDFC customer and a happy one. Savings and Current both the accounts.

I once asked SBI Cust Care if the acc balance kept zero for some days or so.. will that incur any charges.. the answer was NO..
is that situation differs from what an account being called as Zero Balance account.?@N-5130 wrote:@thrifty_indian wrote:@KDJPR wrote:

If the a/c is not ‘zero balance’ then you have to maintain an quarterly average.

I re-confirmed the same via call to 1800-425-3800 the answer was same NO penalties for keeping account balance zero. But you have to keep the account in active condition by add/remove transactions time-to-time..
Who should I trust?

I think this is in effect
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/ind...
Plus whether ICICI or any other bank, RBI has already asked them to provide zero balance a/c facility. Here is ICICI bank’s
http://www.icicibank.com/Personal-Banking/accou...
Similarly, you can find other bank’s zero balance a/c page too.

You get Rupay Debit card which is not accepted by majority of merchants.
Jan Dhan Yojana gives zero balancr account with a rupay debit card which is only used in india….
And yeah in pockets savings account there is no quaterly or any charges levied for maintianing the account, that applies for inactive account too….
NEFT is free in pocket account…. But if u are transfering from other bank account then we have to pay charges
