Review ICICI bank - an unbelievably incompetent bunch of people

Not only developer options, this also restricts the app from working, with ad blocker blockada.

been banking with icici for 20+years, never had an issue!
multiple accounts, credit cards, demat.

butter smooth. HDFC online is a pain in the @$$!

icici and indusind have been really good in terms of ac opening, online access and banking.
 
The ICICI app is the current industry benchmark (no matter how shit it might be). HDFC is one of the poorest apps in terms of speed and usability for most common uses such as adding beneficiaries, etc. I mean HDFC online was so bad RBI blocked them from onboarding new CC customers.

Banks such as IndusInd, IDFC First and Yes are focusing more on tech so their apps might soon be the best, lets see. Also SBI app is actually very feature rich but its reliability lets it down heavily.
 
Just a heads up that the app seems to be working with developer options enabled when I tried just now... It only pops up a message "recommended to disable developer options for your security" but working after dismissing it.

Seems like they reverted it recently, working for me with that pop-up. Thanks for letting us know.
 
RBI is getting strict and so this all stuff popping up as an update due to large number of scams going on in India.

Play store reviews were all bashing them for it. Maybe management took low rating seriously. All these banks take ratings seriously for some reason.

You guys are using apps for banking? I still use bank's websites for that. I don't trust the apps at all.

It's faster in the app to do things. The website is full of useless promotions and everything is in small text. Plus constantly moving banners, page not properly rendering in FF or chrome etc. In FF the card grid numbers are half hidden when you want to pay bills etc. In chrome the menu on top is not fully rendered in mobile and you can't scroll it. I think they gave up caring about making their site viewable on most devices.

True, website is always more reliable compared to the apps but the website sucks when opening via the mobile browsers. So the app is the only method to access banking facilities.
 
Govt has launched crypto CBDC (Central Bank’s Dumb Currency) and I have received an exclusive invite from ICICICICICI bank to try it out.
