I spent all my survey comments pleading for more Online Functionality & Convenience, and for the Abandonment of their Old (out-of-date) Heavy reliance on 'Banking By Phone'.

An Unheard Cry In The Wilderness❓

We'll see . . .

P.S.
Their emailed survey ends tomorrow, Nov. 2nd.

I last had an account with ICICI Bank in 2009. Their website indicates that they are CDIC insured (as did post #3 above)

Ok thank you for the reply and the information.

Has anyone here deposited there for this 4.50% promotional interest rate offer? Furthermore, are they CDIC insured? Also, are there any fees associated with the Savings/Chequing Accounts?

Thanks,

"2. There were initially some restrictions on the activities of foreign banks in Canada, but those were removed by the beginning of the 2000s to encourage foreign investment and create a level playing field for foreign banks within Canada."

Some companies, as Hewlett-Packard tried - impose a minimum wait time on EVERY call for the same reason, even if employees are sitting on their asses or playing solitaire.

On the "yeah!" side of things, BEEM (which has taken over BlueShore) has a system that actually tells you how many calls are ahead of you, and updates that with every call they clear. Much more entertaining than dreadful music and commercials. Today I actually got through instantly. On a Saturday, mind you!

I've never heard of this bank before. Is anyone currently using them? 

ICICI Bank is a Schedule II bank
Schedule II banks are subsidiaries of foreign banks operating in Canada under the same act as Schedule I banks. Schedule II banks primarily serve local communities or specific groups. They can carry out most banking activities but cannot accept demand deposits (deposits that can be withdrawn at any time without notice) from the general public. Examples of Schedule II: J.P. Morgan Bank Canada, Habib Canadian Bank, ICICI Bank Canada.

read the "about us" page on their website:

I've bought their GIC's through my GIC broker up to CDIC limit, but have not dealt with them directly, as of yet.

They have branches across Canada..there's one not far from where I live, in fact.

Desktops and laptops are so last decade, so last generation, so grandpa ...  

That was tongue in cheek ...

Desktop computers are much more upgradable than laptops. Parts are so much less specific that adding capabilities is much cheaper, and newer parts can be added that were not available when the machine was built.

When buying a laptop, one often has to pay top dollar for the best parts since the higher spec will not likely be available later.

All told, aside from price, desktop computers can be kept and used for more than twice as long as laptops. They are also much cheaper to repair and harder to abscond with.  

I agree.

Has anyone been able to successfully link their Tangerine account from Meridian, using the automated link process? It keeps failing for me, apparently they are trying to log in twice, but are only asking for the security code once.  

I also tried to link both my Meridian CU and Steinbach CU savings account with Tangerine through their Plaid and also manually for Steinbach by talking to a Tangerine Contact Centre representative.
It seems that there are some issues with some CU. Have not tried yet manually for Meridian with Tangerine over the phone but I suspect will be same issue I had with Steinbach.

Because fraudsters don't steal laptops or break into people's homes as it's considered rude?
