Apart from getting rid of paperwork, other advantages of this new IDBI Bank facility is that, it activates the account in a few minutes and provides a better on-boarding experience to the customers. Also, the turnaround time for activating the account will be reduced drastically.
Now any IDBI Bank customer can enjoy similar facilities, which they get while opening a saving bank account at the lender’s branch. The only difference is that, one does not need to even visit any branch, and just in few clicks can open their saving account.
That said, the customers will receive the Cheque Book and Debit Card across the counter.
