Hello TFcians,

The first thing you should do is check which bank your new company is associated with for salary payments.
If they are not associated with banks, go for ICICI, HDFC, or SBI.

Why S B I?

Why S B I?

If he needs a Govt Sector Bank or based on his location if ICICI or HDFC is not near this location. Sbi will not give him any special or more benefits than ICICI or HDFC that's why I kept it as the last option.

Once you are through with the account opening hurdle (which is honestly far superior than a lot of private banks like Indus, RBL, etc. - enough nightmare stories on this forum), everything is a breeze. They have an excellent netbanking experience. You will probably never need to visit the branch. They have a good credit card portfolio. Loans are easy.

I totally agree... I have been holding an SBI salary account for 11 yrs now and it's a breeze. Even loans are super quick and gets processed same day.

icici for salary acc. Simple and no hidden charges.

Who said its not available ? I opened it as Corporate Salary account and then maintained 5L for 2 months . Reached out to RM and asked for First Wealth he didnt budge for that, So instead he offered First Select then RM sent link and it was upgraded in a week. New Debit card will also be delivered in 2-3 days post upgrade.
So i have a Idfc first select programme with Corporate Salary account. First select, Wealth all these are done on customer id levels so its irrelevant which program you are in.

As per my RM, it is not available and with 5L you can easily get Wealth in a normal SB account.
I hold First Select with 1L IF and soon upgrading to Wealth with 3L MAB

 

[saurabhdoit]

If I open a HDFC salary account. Will it increase my chances of getting regalia orr DCB black.

Note - I already hold Millennia credit card.

@saurabhdoit I recommend you Kotak Privy League Neon for 60k salary. And it's premium account. They will give you Kotak Zen Signature credit card LTF. There support is average but mostly of the things can be managed in net banking and banking app.

For First select salary account criteria is 1L+ Salary credit, 3L+ for wealth. No MAB required if this is met

My Local Branch Doesn't offer a Salary Account. So, RM was not sure about this I think that's why he said they don't offer Privilege Banking Program for Salary Account Holders.
It's basically the requirement for the Select & Wealth Credit Card.

Yes. But since you already have millennia, more weightage will be on millennia spends for getting upgrade

SBI, ICICI, HDFC, IDFC
Especially for good CC offers ICICI or HDFC will be a good choice
