The iMobile app – launched in January 2008 –
has been “doubling” its user base every year since, according to
Rajiv Sabharwal, executive director, ICICI Bank.

The most popular services, reportedly, are
fund transfers, prepaid mobile recharge, bill payments and movie
ticket booking.

“Customers are slowly but surely adopting this
new channel and we are noticing a healthy growth in our
month-on-month transactions carried out through mobile banking.
Also, mobile users in the country have increased more than the
internet penetration, which offers a huge opportunity.

“Understanding the diverse needs of the
customers and providing them a comprehensive range of services
helps us deepen our relationship with the customer, increases
engagement and makes us their preferred bank,” said Sabharwal.

approximately 3,000 branches to familiarise customers with iMobile,
according to Sabharwal.
