I will not consider interest rate as banks' job is to give a safe haven for hard earned money. Promotional high interest rate has to go down. There are couple of factors we need to see to choose a best bank account in my honest opinion. Being listed in scheduled commercial bank list is of paramount importance. 1) Number of Branches More number of branches means we can access our bank from different locations. That ensures seamless banking. One might argue, since netbanking is on the rise we don't need offline branches. But not all people do possess the resources we have at our disposal. And some problems can be rectified by visiting a bank branch. There is also this psychological impact. 2) Density of the branches I just made up this number 🐒🐒🐒🐒. This number implies Total number of branches/number of states in India. 3) MAB It is self explanatory. 4) Available online/offline services This includes money transfer services, ATM services, availability of different variants of cards, UX of web n mobile apps, ease of access to customer services, customer feedback on different platforms, ASBA facility for IPO application (total 25 banks https://www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/other/OtherActi...), loan availing facility, number of ATMS etc 5) NPA found this https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=publ... . It is too hectic to decipher. So, SBI naturally comes at top. Why? 22,141 branches, that is 615 branches per state(Branch Density), which is factually incorrect. Odisha has 780 SBI branches, Assam has 470 branches, Manipur has 50 branches, Mizoram has 48 branches, Nagaland has 75 branches, Meghalaya has 102 branches, Arunachal Pradesh has 65 branches etc. Those last 6 states are the most forgotten states in India in my observation. So, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Rajasthan to Arunachal Pradesh, SBI has its footprint. Basic Banking facility can be available from with ease to with extremely difficulties(but those places have no other branch than SBI). Then assorted Cards are available. Netbanking, Yono are there. ASBA is available. Since a lot of people are SBI customers, people tend to ask silly questions and hence SBI staffs may be suffer from some sort of emotional thing. Online account opening is available. Customer support is garbage. For basic banking facility nobody beats SBI. MAB is 0 for the time being, that also means more people can open account there.

It was a little stunt though. I won't encourage anyone to do it. But yes, you can change your SBI password, in case you have gotten locked out of your account access, without waiting for 24 hr cool off period. You need either of three things, ATM/Profile password/Branch visit 🐒 and ready access to your cellphone for OTP. Since we want to do it online, either of ATM or Profile Password and OTP would do the job. Steps: 1) get locked out from accessing you account 🐒😈 2) hit forgot login password 3) follow onscreen procedure 4) enjoy 👻👻👻 "@MJ911":https://www.desidime.com/users/...03 "@bumblefoot":https://www.desidime.com/users...78 "@Priyanka":https://www.desidime.com/user...31 "@goss8877":https://www.desidime.com/users...23 "@MrKool_JJ":https://www.desidime.com/users/...01 "@malikcool":https://www.desidime.com/users/...63 "@BubbleBoyChickenLittle":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...07 "@androgame":https://www.desidime.com/users/...51 "@xuseronline":https://www.desidime.com/users...18 "@pingpong":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...21 "@rajrocks":https://www.desidime.com/users/...28 "@AyushiiiVijay":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...40 "@Wontdisplaymyname":https://www.desidime.com/users/...32 "@amdoinggood123":https://www.desidime.com/use...54 "@VaibhavJain":https://www.desidime.com/users/...39 "@guest_999":https://www.desidime.com/users...83 "@mas143forever":https://www.desidime.com/users...29 "@MSDfan":https://www.desidime.com/users/...81 "@drjpatwa":https://www.desidime.com/users...53 "@saucap":https://www.desidime.com/users/...95 "@vijkap201":https://www.desidime.com/users...80 "@Dastro":https://www.desidime.com/users/...89 "@drupal":https://www.desidime.com/users...53 "@sravz86":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...62 "@B-Rabbit":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...76 "@G-Gowda":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...55 "@Nationalist":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...56 "@homedimer":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...38 "@Alexios":https://www.desidime.com/users/...75 "@VaibhavJain":https://www.desidime.com/users/...39 "@Common-Man":https://www.desidime.com/users/...93 "@cocay":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...62 "@rini50":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...39 "@xuseronline":https://www.desidime.com/users...18

@panchabhut A few days ago my friend got call from an ICICI employee(she clearly stated her employee ID) offering a policy based on credit card with accident/disability/treatment feature. My friend insisted on policy document pdf in email so he can read all the T&C & you know what, she said there is no such “pdf” available. My friend clearly told her that without the pdf of T&C beforehand he will not apply for any policy while she kept on insisting that it is not needed as ICICI won’t refuse any claim & finally gave up when my friend refused to budge. from this point of getting pdf. At one point she even told my friend that “if there was a pdf then why would she even call instead of sending the offer with pdf in email”. This is the reality of things sadly in India. If I had the necessary authority I would have made compulsory an acknowledgement(saying I have read the T&C & won’t make the excuse of not knowing in case of any future dispute regarding claim excl my understanding of T&C vis-à-vis insurance company) email in direct reply to an email with pdf of all T&C attached before issuing any policy.

What was the number from which call was received? Was it mobile or landline? ICICI Bank employees are not permitted to call from mobile numbers except RM. Shhe has stated a number and claimed it to be ICICI Bank employee ID. But is there any mechanism to verify it? Otherwise, how do we decide whether it is genuine or fake? ICICI always send Insurance offers by mail. If it does not come by mail, then it is not an official offer.
As a basic rule, one must always remember that no Banks in India are legally permitted to have insurance or mutual funds business. If its insurance or mutual funds, then it is not a bank product. That is always actually offered by a third party. Any bank person who offers non-banking projects should be politely told to go to hell.
Also there is no legal entity called ICICI. There is ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential, ICICI Lombard and ICICI Securities (ICICI Direct). All are separate legal entities. So anyone who calls and says that she is calling from “ICICI” without specifying which entity, that person should immediately be asked to go to hell.

Well I think there is still no match to SBI, very first requitements of a common man is the bank having sustainability, wide network of ATMs and reasonability. In all these aspects SBI has no competitor.
Now the matter with a PSU bank is service. Being a govt bank and the volume they handle, we cannot compare service with small banks. Well SBI has still made best solution to this by introducing best technology in market in terms of mobile banking, net banking and e-corners.

Horror story regarding ICICI, family’s 80 lakh gone down the drain. 😔😔😔

Honestly I don’t have any intention of libel against ICICI. Guys please watch the video. And videos can be biased. But when I heard that a family has lost 80 lakhs by some sort of questionable banking operations maybe, I thought of bringing this thing to the light. Pray, watch the video if possible n tell exactly what went wrong and what could have done to avoid it? 🙏🙏🙏

In my opinion, HDFC is the best even with their flaws regarding non fulfilment of offers/shitty looking app. They have so many offers that even though one or two is not credited, others would surely compensate and their value is miles above other banks. Their premium accounts, though not much beneficial, have zero debit card fees which gives 750 per month without any hassles for credit card payments, plus there is no non maintenance charge for account.
Their lending facilities are pretty great. They instantly provide Personal Loans, Credit card jumbo loan/insta loan with the best limits. I almost always have 10 lakh insta jumbo loan available for an unforeseen circumstance. For most of the credit card holders, hdfc gives the highest credit limit, best rewarding credit card.
Other banks simply don’t care/don’t want to lend to their customers/have shitty rewarding credit cards.
If you are starting a job, not taking hdfc as your primary account would be a big big mistake. I know a lot of people in my batch with icici/kotak regretting their decisions.
I have idfc/sbi/dbs too. Idfc looks promising and is the only account that I have with free imps, which is pretty handy sometimes. The bad thing about them is upi limit is very less.

I cannot believe axis has 7 percent votes. If anyone has atleast 2 different bank accounts, he should know there is a better bank than axis. Their consolidated charges is a joke. Literally nobody working in the bank is aware of some of the charges related to BNA penalties.

HDFC bank’s interpretation of digital means all request forms are available on their site which has to be then downloaded, filled up and submitted to their branch. If that fails then you have to again download new forms (different version, same content) and send to Chennai

The rating of a bank will be on the basis of the support.

Worst bank is HDFC.

For every small updation in your credit card account, you have to write a letter to Chennai and wait for their reply.

In my case, I applied for card Upgradation. So, sent a letter to Chennai. They rejected my request without mentioning any reason. Then I wrote email to HDFC, then they asked me to send all the attested documents again through email. So I sent them again.

Now, they said, the employer has changed as per the pay slip. So, they again asked me to fill the physical office address change form and post it to Chennai.

Then they rejected my office address change request saying my permanent address & Office address are in different states and they want me to change my permanent address and asked me to submit a new proof of change in permanent address in order to change the office address.
Who the fxxx changes their permanent address for their dumb axx cards.
In between my card Validity has expired and these dumb people has dispatched the renewed card to old office which is in a different state.

Now, I am planning to file a complaint with RBI regarding the same since there is no such rule to change Permanent address before changing office address.

Next in line is Yes Bank.

Where as SBI, AMEX & ICICI allowed me to change the office address through netbanking/ chat.

Indian bank because 1000 rs minimum balance (used to be 500 before merging) – free international debit card- free another debit card which you can use as a purse/wallet with it’s own seperate saving account linked to main – free net banking – nationalize bank. Also charges same amount as currency conversion rate same as shown on Google search.

Cons- little to no ATM.

HDFC Bank is only good for credit cards as it gives regular offers on Amazon/ fk. It’s netbanking is still like 2010.

ICICI Bank is good for amazon pay card for me. I have no experience of account.

SBI netbanking is awesome. Best I would say. Using same password since last 7 years. It never asked to change unlike other banks smile

Kotak bank is a great choice too. Reasons:
- Netbanking and mobile banking has all features and get updated regularly.
- They quickly issue credit card even to new users if you have their bank account (faster than icici, hdfc).
- If any new feature is announced by HDFC/ ICICI, Kotak joins them next day.
- Kotak bank now also offers debit card EMI
- Kotak cards can be added to Google pay for NFC payments (also supports Axis, SBI, HSBC cards).
- Address can be updated immediately via netbanking in bank using Aadhar OTP once a year.

@ op this poll must have an option of “other banks” because dimers have less choice.
