ICICI Banned Me From Credit Cards

Hi Everyone,

I am writing to seek assistance with my recent experiences while applying for an ICICI credit card.

Despite holding a Salary Account with ICICI along with the Privilege tag, I have faced continuous rejections during the application process. I meticulously provide all necessary bank details and undergo Work Email Verification, yet the applications are instantly rejected.

Two years ago, I encountered a similar situation where my credit card application was initially approved and then subsequently rejected. In response, I raised a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman against ICICI Bank. I am now contemplating whether this incident led to my inclusion in some form of blacklist, preventing me from obtaining a credit card with ICICI.

I am seeking guidance on the appropriate course of action to address this issue. Should I refrain from further applications, or would it be advisable to directly communicate with ICICI Bank, seeking clarification on the reasons behind the rejections? Despite my attempts to obtain specific reasons through email communication, I have only received general responses which are -
We evaluate applications based on the following:
· The eligibility criteria of ICICI Bank
· The viability of the proposed purposes of the credit facility Track record of past borrowings by you (if any)
· An existing credit card application under process (if any)
· Your prior experience in respect of the proposed purpose and The regulatory and statutory provisions governing ICICI Bank.

So what are the outcome of RBI ombudsman ?
If you complaint ICICI approved then rejected, RBI couldn't do anything in your favour.

First email to ICICI for reason of decline. They never give any explanation regarding this. Then fill RBI ombudsman for reason of decline against ICICI Bank card so you know actual reason behind this.

After that go to branch and contact with BM/RM and apply offline via branch.

For the offers during festive season, and its true, ICICI is not for a daily use card.

After that go to branch and contact with BM/RM and apply offline via branch.

They still rejected the application, and after several emails they only give me generic response attached. And looking at their history they never would tell me the exact reason.

Won't be able to share here, but my company has tie up with them. And my collegues managed to get their first credit card with them almost instantly, and me with 4 years of credit history and good card limits got rejected :(
Never applied Offline, will that make a difference? Since in online I do work email OTP verification so that should increase the chances.

Speak to a BM and find out more details if you can for rejection reason .. blindly taking efforts may not yield anything.. finally its their decision..

Check your neighbours belong to the same pincode getting rejections? If there is, pincode may be the culprit banks should ask for pincode first before entering anything to check cc eligibility

Due to some RBI guidelines and risk management

Nowadays banks are not shown interest in giving unsecured loans who already availed from other banks.

Try to have mutual funds, ulip with bank and apply card via your rm.

And that is the reason why kotak has stopped LE by C2C and even by ITR
Rbi is a very strict regulator

Hi,
Taking icici & HDFC card is very easy compared to axis.
If you do fd with icici imobile app gives option to take platinum debit card instantly.
After 3 months apply for coral/Amazon Apay card you will definitely be given approval.
