iScore by ICICI

This discussion is to understand what is an iScore by ICICI which appears in iMobile App under " Discove" tab for SB account holders
its impact on pre-approved offers and their limits..​

What is iScore?

iScore is an internal/proprietary score score provided by ICICI Bank to its customers, on the basis of their transactions in the physical and digital world.
Before we go on to the details of how it is calculated , let us see its uses from customer perspective based on my observations:

1) iScore - its impact on Credit card pre approved offers
( Very minor role as of now, but could play a considerable role in future)..

iScore is not playing a siginificatnt role in triggering pre-approved credit card offers yet.. but in future it may be considered with some greate importance depending upon how ICICI wants to take this forward ..
I found only one instance where low iScore had resulted in no pre-approved offers for a customer.. ..in the following case..
complete details are here in this thread..

What it essentially means, iScore is playing some part in triggering pre-approved CC offers , albiet a very minor role as of now..

2) Significant role in Crdit limits on products like Credit card, Home Loan, Personal Loan , Auto loan etc.

This is where the plot thickens.. I have found quite a significant co-relation between iScore and limits offered on various Credit / Loan products ..
The higher the iScore the higher the limits offered.....

3) Essentially iScore is useful for limits offered on differnt pre-approved loans largely and to credit card limits to some extent ...


Now.. We will go into the academics of iScore,
What is an iScore, how it is built, how to improve, what are the different slabs, etc..
Here I am providing allt he screenshots of these FAQ's taken directly from iMobile App...
It is quite easy to understand...

Some basic details of iSocre..

1) This is available under " Discover " tab in iMobile app.
2) The customer had to hold a SB account to see thid option
3) In the first screen it will show your score..
4) You will find a button there to find out " how to improve your iScore?" .. these options are customized according to the cutomer's current profile..
Basically they want us to use thier different ICICI products..

Tip: Try to use as many products as possible with the least amount of cashoutflow.. the trick is we need to use different prodcuts offerd by ICICI and make sure they are not forced spending on our part. and still try to cover maxmium products with least amuont of outflow..
for eg. regularly we can use some token pre-paid recharge ( load Rs10 into mobile's main balance), a few payments thru QR scan etc...
This way I kept my iScore at 90 at one point of time...
Like this you can find your own spend types..


You can find your iScore( for SBA holders) under " Discover " in iMobile App..
Scroll down to the bottom in the " Discover" tab.

My Old iScore Screeshot: found in this thread..

My Pre-approved credit limits offered on different loans based on my

1) 24L income recorded as per ICICI records
2) current iScore of 80, ( before 90)

1. Home Loan : 95L
2. Auto Loan : 50L
3. Two Wheeler Loan: 4.10 L
4.Loan against Property : 80L
5. Loan against comeercial property: 80L

Now, Let us do some collobarative research on this topic to establish some facts based on my above observations...
Share your profile, iScore, your pre approved offers, its limits etc.. your expereince and observations ..

I believe , this will definitely help in understanding how ICICI triggers its pre-approved offers and limits going into the future...

Imprtant Note: If you have very high income (ITR) and a very good CIBIL, and have availed decent amount of credit products from ICICI, then iScore's role is negligible in your pre-approved Credit card offers.. Actually some of these factors will contirbute to the high iScore itself and there by good offers...

same my scrore came down to 10 from 41
Atleast my iScore remained at 10 only it didn't go again down to zero or negative.
Iscore is bulls hit. It said recharge prepaid mobile to improve score when I was at 77. After recharge it went down to 10. Previously went from 81 to 77 after creating FD as per their suggestion to improve score.
Anyone’s iscore returned to normal?

Negative! Also no offers showing now
I guess it's something wrong from ICICI's end, a lot of people are seeing iscore of 10 with no past history

I think, this program is resetting itself and taking a nap at the moment.. I think all of our iScores are 10 as of now..
Hopefully it awakes from its Kumbha Karna's sleep soon...
My iScore this month ....rn

To the best of my knowledge it's just an eyewash they ask such tasks to do to increase iscore. But in the reality it's not based on that. It totally depends on your financial management, average balance maintenance and existing loans.
You are right.. ironically the major constituents of the iScore itself are the one's you just mentioned amongst others......

Wow I had completely forgotten about this. I checked today and it stands at 57! :partyface: It was 10 ever since I started checking it.

No use though. No CC upgrade or any other offer not even personal loan.

This iScore thing really works. Mine started from 40. I started to maintain more than a lakh MAB. Slowly it was increasing by few points every month. It crossed 60 last month after almost a year and suddenly all different offers started showing up as soon as it crossed 60. I got LTF pre-approved card too last month.

Here we are, at last one successful validation from the ground ..
Excellent..
Thank you very much for the update...

After 11 pages of this thread one successful validation came..
I am glad that it worked..
I strongly believe that big commercial organizations won't do any thing for FUN for an extended period of time...
Enjoy ...
Please feel free to update in future...
Thanks again...
 
Thanks for the update @SSV , my iscore is now 84 from 10. Is 84 worth anything? I also see "Prime" and "Elite" status. Anyone has these status and got rewards for it?
 
I got congratulations from ICICI somehow even though I spent more lol
Jokes apart just want to say spend vs score no relation but we need to find how score came 77 from 10

It depends on other things as well.
It is a good score and it will have it's relevance at the right time.
Keep an eye on this from time to time
