HiSave / ICICI UK.



  •  Tried to do a simple transfer from my ICICI account today. Their web interface has always been absolutely awful, but now they've surpassed themselves and managed to put live a JSP page with a misspelt println statement which causes it not to compile!

    This is a federally insured British *BANK* owned by one of the biggest banks in India!!!!! Not like it's some obscure function, either- it's the "Transfer Funds" page! Call me traditional, but I would probably trap the exception rather than just dumping the stack trace!

    Anyway, I thought it was hilariously funny in a 1998 sort-of-way, and am glad my money is in such safe hands :)

    I'm fairly certain that British banks are covered by the FSCS, not FDIC.

    Yes, that does sound like an icky-icky account.



  • And they have two occurrences of the incorrect spelling; sadly, such issues are common with cut-and-patse coders.



  •  I would not keep my money at a bank with no quality assurance whatsoever. Since such an obvious bug goes unnoticed, programmers can obviously introduce any code they like.

    I probably spent 3 months, a few years back, with them before deciding that their ability to run a useful banking website was on a par with that of Santander today[1]. Nice to see nothing's changed.



    [1] My last run-in with Santander was with Abbey (another UK bank) when they were in the middle of being taken over. Ignoring their ability to send the correct paperwork out for opening a savings account, their website was literally (as in it didn't appear) unless you allowed DoubleClick.
