Can We Upgrade Our Account In ICICI Bank Just After Account Opening?

[BankExpertIndia]

Dear Community Members

I Am Thinking To Open Account In ICICI Bank (Silver Savings Account) But There Is No Option Online To Open An Silver Savings Account. So I Am Thinking To Open A InstaSave Savings Account And Then Upgrade It Into Silver Varient.

So, I Want To Ask That Can I Upgrade My Account Right After It Is Opened. And If There Is A Link To Open Siver Account Directly Then I Will Open It Directly.

Thanking You In Advance 🙂

Which Varient You Are Opening?

I just proceeded with online account opening.

What do you mean by cutting edge?
ICICI has the worst customer care teleline

He meant the backend infrastructure that helps run their systems.

You Can Try Opening The Account Offline

Exactly my thoughts.

ICICI has terrible CC returns. If not for amazon CC it would've been wiped in year or two. I don't want any of them.

That's The Reason I Have Postponed My Decision For ICICI And Opened IDFC Signature & Will Open Indus Exclusive Soon

Great decision
ICICI branch people are also usually very arrogant

Well Said...

Was no need to delete your former comment 😂

Done Because I Thought Many People Here Don't Understand Hindi

Go to branch
They have kits for silver
That's how I opened my silver account

How old is your account and haven't you received any pre approved cc offer yet??

Seriously I don't see a point in upgrading ICICI account or maybe I had a really bad experience with a branch when I asked them to update my communication address using my postpaid bill as address proof they outright told me either bring in Aadhar or open new account citing that this is the company policy and he can't do anything about it.

Changed branch got communication address updated using same postpaid bill sometimes branch can really make or break customer experience.

ICICI, Axis both are real shit ...

They are like public sector banks in private sector 🤒

ICICI Is The Worst Bank In Terms Of The Bank Employees... They All Are Always On 7th Sky

 

[BankExpertIndia]

Axis in terms os service ... Servers always down

And true about ICICI

My Experience From Axis Is Always Good... Reason Behind This Is That I Know The BM... Don't Use The Account On Day 2 Day Basis

Pretty much the same story with everyone as well. If you happen to know someone where you bank at, that's the best.

During my 8 years with Axis, while I didn't really have any troublesome moments with them, they were too slow to respond to anything On multiple occasions, they left me on read.

BTW any other way to reduce Debit Card charges from ICICI other than upgrading to Gold account

I opened icici mine account online and instantly got virtual debit card. I tried using it but OTP wasn't coming so I visited the bank and she said "you don't have any mobile number linked to your account" 😵 I was like I used my adhaar liked number to create account. She tried updating my number in account details but she couldn't saying "I already have a credit card linked to this number since 4 years." I wasn't even 18 years old 4 years ago :/ so I had to link my second number to account. She said let this number get updated then visit atm to change it to primary number. I wanted it to be on primary number as it's same number for amazon account to get apay cc. So I went to atm and for some reason atm said call some number or visit branch to update phone number. So again I visited branch and submitted a form. After few days I applied for fd cc. Now FD cc OTP was coming to secondary number and transaction details was coming to primary number 😵 so I tried using debit card and dc OTP was coming to second number and transaction sms was recieving to primary number. I was like wth is this :/ so I visited branch again and now they gave me another form where I had to enter cc number and now it's OTP and transaction sms comes to primary number. Debit card OTP comes to primary number but transaction sms is still on second number and also in imobile app it shows second number in account details.

Should I upgrade mine account to some other varient ? I have fd card with 70k limit and they recently rejected my apay application so can't apply for another half year.

 

[kochiro]

Also I got a call from their cc when I applied for apay card. She said congratulations you are getting upgrade in your existing card. Let me explain the benefits to you. I was like ehh I am yet to recieve proper unsecured cc , are you giving me upgrade on my fd card. Is that even a thing ? Turns out she said I got offer to upgrade my mine debit card to coral debit card. I said isn't this a thing in imobile app already why you bothered to call regarding this. She still kept explaining benefits meanwhile I had coral FD credit card with exact same benefits.

It happened to me too I hold apay card linked to my only mobile number and with same mobile number I opened mine account. Same problem mobile number not linked but I also didn't got account number though received physical debit card.
Funny thing is I changed debit card pin using that mobile number at ATM but on netbanking it shows not linked to userid.
Now I'm gonna visit branch for acc number in imobile app there is option to link savings acc to credit card acc I hope this will work if not I'm withdrawing all money from mine account and close it.
