ICICI Bank is one of India’s most reputable private sector banks. Since its establishment in 1994, the bank has grown to become a household name in the financial industry. It offers its customers a wide range of banking products and financial services, each of which has been developed keeping in mind the customer’s requirements.

One of the financial services offered by ICICI Bank to its customers is the current account. A current account is primarily used by individuals whose financial transactions are in significantly higher amounts than that of the average customer. These large financial transactions are carried out on a daily basis and liquidity is an essential aspect to these customers. A current account specifically caters to these needs.

ICICI Bank has a wide range of current accounts that it offers its customers. Each of these accounts have been developed to meet the specific needs of the account holder. ICICI Bank’s current accounts range from those intended for large corporations to new businesses that are still in their fledgling stages.
