Hi there! I am a 18yr old here and want to know what are some good banks for a 0 Balance accounts. As of now, I have opened Kotak 811 for which KYC is gonna be done this evening. I had applied for a HDFC account on 4th of december but yet no intimation from HDFC (Find this to be really pathetic, I applied for 811 day before and they gave account and all and just want to complete KYC today, really fast). Both applications were done online. I also have a minor account in ICICI which I will major but my dad is asking to make one separate account too, so is that possible ?
also, my parents have preferred banking in HDFC, Wealth managment in ICICI etc. so will it be good to link my accounts to theirs in the family banking program ?
Thank you all in advance! :))

Payzapp is dumb or some crap. I am trying to do KYC using my Hdfc credentials, it gives me an error of log in using the cust id linked to this phone number when I already am doing the same. Wtf is this. Basic KYC using PAN also it gives error.

I want to thank you all for helping and guiding me through everything & especially for linking my icici to my mom's WM account. Thank you for bearing with me. I am sure I was being super annoying as always (can't help it 😭😅🤣). So now my iMobile also shows the WM (black) theme as well as my netbanking login. So now if I request a new cheque book, will it be a WM cheque book and also WM debit card?

Btw guys, how do I get into a banking programme for HDFC? I wanna get into preferred banking. So if I just keep 2L there, will I get an invite? Or what's a better way to go for it?
