ICICI Log in issues

EagerLearner

I managed to log in today, but, when I went to organise a payment to my current account, it wouldn't allow me to select a future transfer date, only an immediate payment. Will try again later.

I too have had all the problems previously stated, but hey you can't have everything. I'll settle for a good interest rate and iffy service. When I get a good interest rate and good service I'll change.

Dwileflunker can't agree with you there... as well as ICICI then I also have an IceSave account, much better site and service, not far behind on the rates... so ICICI better watch out, or it's all going to the other camp

Can't agree with this sentiment. A professional banking service is important and interest rates offered by others are not far behind (see comparisons on FSA website). I've got accounts with ICICI and Icesave. I'm happy with service from Icesave, but ICICI has been dreadful (poor IT and unhelpful people) and I can't get my money out! Just not worth the marginal extra interest which I hope will be paid.

I'd never suggest ICICI to anyone!

I also have an Icesave account and agree entirely that the service is better, but if you have to spread your cash over a number of institutions then ICICI, even with a bad service record, has to be a factor over someone with a lower interest rate.

I can't disagree with you, but to be honest I have never had a major problem with ICICI so based on my experiences some of my money stays with them. I must say I have always been able to transfer money out whenever I needed to. If you have had a different experience then by all means follow your own instincts. I would do the same, but as it stands at the moment I haven't had a bad experience.

Hi guys,

I was thinking of putting money into the ICICI HiSave 1 year fixed rate 7.20 account. Other than these problems, have you had any other problems at all? Would you reccomend it?

Am I able to drop money into the account whenever I like throughout the year? Also, is my money safe in that account, what happens if it goes bust like northern rock?

Regards

Luke

The one year fixed rate (term deposit) is opened with a lump sum.
You can't add further money.

In theory, any bank can go bust.
All UK deposits in bank or building society savings products are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). ICICI (UK) is a member of that scheme, so you are guaranteed that £35000 will be safe.

I have an account with them for several years. One transfer into the account failed and they had to reset the Direct Debit mandate, which was all done in a day or so. Apart from that, no problems.
