    I'd avoid Icici, I opened an account a couple of years ago, tried to fund it and they lost my dd details and didn't bother to tell me. The website is useless and often falls over so I thought I'd leave it. In the meantime they changed everyone’s customer IDs without telling them. Which meant most customers got locked out of their accounts.

    I left it alone for ages, then saw the great fixed rate deal (circa 7.2%) with full UK saving guarantee up to 50k. So again I visited them and tried to set up a fixed rate saver but guess what? They didn't setup the direct debit details again!

    If you do a search on icici hisave you can see failure to set-up or collect funds is a common problem. Great interest rate, but diminished when it spends two weeks sat in your current account.

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I use 'em. I haven't had the hullabaloo you had, but I agree their web site is gonads. And without a high street branch to base an opinion on, one's perception is based on that.

        Seems like pot luck some people have no problems, BUT there are plenty of tales of woe though, and changing customer account details without informing the customer pretty poor IMHO

            They have rating about the same as the Icelandic banks had. AND Given the speed they operate, I doubt I would have got my money back in 12 days as with Kaupthing to ING.

              Thanks for all the replies.

              There's no way I'm putting my money into an foreign bank like ICICI

              I think the BM 6 month bond is where some of my stash is going to live for 6 months.

              Cheers.
