ICICI overdraft facility: Private sector lender ICICI Bank on June 15 announced the launch of a facility that enables its salary account customers to get approval for an overdraft (OD) instantaneously and in a paperless manner without visiting a branch. Called Insta Flexicash, this offer can be availed by the bank’s pre-approved customers using its internet banking platform.
Insta Flexicash is an end-to-end fully digital facility that can be availed using the bank’s Internet banking platform.
The facility comes in handy to lakhs of the bank’s pre-approved customers who can apply for the OD from the comfort of their home, without visiting a bank branch. The ICICI overdraft(OD) facility can be sanctioned immediately while customers can start using the approved OD limit within 48 hours. The interest payable on the OD is calculated on the basis of the actual amount availed by the customer, not on the full amount of the OD sanctioned.
