If you encounter problems while accessing online banking you may need to upgrade your browser or update it with the most recent fixes to keep it running smoothly. Keeping your browser updated is also likely to protect your computer better as the latest fixes and patches will also address known security weaknesses.

To reload, please click on the toolbar, re-select the transaction and wait for the loading to be completed before you proceed. If this does not help, try clearing the browser's cache before you log in again.

The slow response you are experiencing could be due to the following:

  • Your internet service provider, local area network or our system is experiencing a lot of traffic, which is causing it to run slowly.

Yes, as long as the laptop meets the recommended system requirements.

Help with my password/user ID

To protect your password from being easily hacked, we have made it compulsory for the password to be alphanumeric.

  • It can contain both uppercase and lowercase letters.
  • It cannot have any spaces in it.
  • It should be at least 8 characters long, but not more than 20 characters long.
  • It should contain at least four different characters ( we would not accept a password like 'aaa111').
  • It cannot be the same as any of your previous 5 passwords.
  • We recommend that you use a special character (£,$,*,& etc) in your password.

General Questions

Verified by Visa is a service offered by ICICI Bank UK PLC in partnership with Visa. This service provides a way to PIN-protect your Card usage on the Internet.

Simply register your Card and choose a 3D Secure PIN. This 3D Secure PIN will be required whenever you use your Card to make Internet purchases from participating merchants. The requirement of your 3D Secure PIN prevents unauthorized usage of your Card on the Internet, giving you more confidence about making secure purchases online.

No. Verified by Visa is designed to protect the ICICI Bank Card that you already have.

Verified by Visa is free to all ICICI Bank UK PLC Debit Cardholders.

Verified by Visa is quick and easy to use. When you submit an order in one of the participating online stores, you will be asked for your Verified by Visa 3D Secure PIN. Simply enter your 3D Secure PIN, choose Submit, and you're done.

Verified by Visa requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 and above, Netscape Navigator 4.0 and above, or America Online 4.0 and above.

Yes. One of the great advantages of Verified by Visa is that you can use it from any computer connected to the Web.

Registering Your Card

You can register your ICICI Bank UK PLC Debit Cards.

Yes. You are, in fact, required to register all of your ICICI Bank UK PLC Debit Cards that you wish to use for Internet shopping.

We need to ensure that only the rightful owner of the Visa card is able to register for Verified by Visa. By providing this personal information you help us verify your identity.

You must ensure that you enter your Card number & valid from date exactly as it is indicated on your Debit Card. You will receive an error message if any of these details do not match. An error would also appear if the date of birth that you are entering does not match with your date of birth (DOB) as captured in our records. This may be due to any reasons that could have occurred during your application. To update your correct DOB in our systems, please contact our call centre on 03444124444 (Calls to this number use free plan minutes if available, otherwise the cost would be the same as 01/02 prefix calls) to update the same.

Your Verified by Visa 3D Secure PIN must be 6 digits in length and containing numbers.

Avoid using a 3D Secure PIN that is easy to guess, such as your date of birth. Also avoid using a 3D Secure PIN that you have already used elsewhere. Keep in mind that while consolidating 3D Secure PINs may be more convenient, it can also be less secure. It is your responsibility to protect your 3D Secure PINs.

A secure 3D Secure PIN should be something that is easy for you to remember but difficult for anyone else to guess. Never write down your 3D Secure PIN in a place that could be easily located. Never share your 3D Secure PIN with others. You may even choose to change your 3D Secure PIN periodically.

When you register with Verified by Visa you will be asked to create a 3D Secure PIN only for the Card that you are registering. This 3D Secure PIN allows you to make online purchases from participating Verified by Visa merchants using only that particular card. It is up to you to use the same 3D Secure PIN for your other Cards as well. Keep in mind that while consolidating 3D Secure PINs may be more convenient, it can also be less secure. It is your responsibility to protect your 3D Secure PINs.

You create your Personal Message as in your Verified by Visa registration. When you pay online, always look for your Personal Message before you enter your 3D Secure PIN to ensure that you're using the authentic Verified by Visa service.

Your Personal Message and your 3D Secure PIN must not be the same, to ensure your security.

Using Verified by Visa

When you pay with your ICICI Bank UK PLC Debit Card, the 3D Secure service will automatically be extended to you at participating online stores.

You can shop at any online store that has the Verified by Visa symbol.

The service is activated as soon as you receive confirmation of your registration. You can go shopping immediately at a participating Verified by Visa merchant. At check-out, you will be required to enter your 3D Secure PIN in the 3D Secure window.

The service is activated as soon as you receive confirmation of your registration. You can go shopping immediately at a participating Verified by Visa merchant. At check-out, you will be required to enter your 3D Secure PIN in the 3D Secure window.

When you finish shopping at a participating Verified by Visa merchant, proceed to the merchant's check-out page. After you enter your registered ICICI Bank UK PLC Debit Card number and submit your purchase, your Verified by 3D Secure payment window will appear. First, look for your Personal Message. Confirm that it is correct and then, enter your 3D Secure PIN and choose Submit.

You'll enter your Verified by Visa 3D Secure PIN only when making an online purchase.

First, check to make sure that the Card you used for the purchase is one that you have registered with the ICICI Bank UK PLC Verified by Visa service. Second, determine whether the merchant is a participating Verified by Visa merchant. The merchant must be participating in the Verified by Visa service in order for the window to appear.

The only difference is that you will not see the Visa payment window prompting you for your 3D Secure PIN – the purchase will proceed just as it did before you registered your Card with Verified by Visa. Of course, by shopping at participating Verified by Visa merchants, you have the extra security of confirming your identity with your 3D Secure PIN.

Always look for your Personal Message before signing the receipt. If your Personal Message does not appear on the receipt, do not sign it – contact our call centre on 03444124444 (Calls to this number use free plan minutes if available, otherwise the cost would be the same as 01/02 prefix calls).

If a Personal Message other than yours appears on the receipt, please do not sign it – contact our call centre on 03444124444 (Calls to this number use free plan minutes if available, otherwise the cost would be the same as 01/02 prefix calls). Always look for your Personal Message before signing the receipt.

You will need to register the new Card for the Verified by Visa service.

We are committed to providing our customers with a secure banking experience. We strive to utilise state-of-the-art technology to protect your financial information. We also employ a wide range of security features for our website as well as for our online banking service.

These include:

 

Secure login

For logging into online banking you need to use your online banking user ID and password. Our login page is a secure page.

When you log in successfully to our online banking your web browser will establish a 128-bit secure socket layer (SSL) connection between your computer and our web servers.

SSL stands for ‘Secure Socket Layer’. SSL is a protocol used to transmit information securely over the internet. The SSL encrypts sensitive information so it cannot be opened or understood by anyone other than the intended receiver. SSL has been accepted universally as the standard for authenticating and encrypting communication over the web.

The 128-bit SSL gives the most secure encryption available.

You can see whether a web page is secure in two main ways:

  • Check the web page URL: Normally, when browsing the web, the URLs (web page addresses) begin with the letters "http". However, over a secure connection the address displayed should begin with "https". Note the "s" at the end.
  • Try it! - Visit our home page (http://www.icicibank.co.uk). Note the URL begins with ‘http’, meaning this page is not secure. Then click the link at the upper-left hand corner to ‘Log in’. Notice the change in the URL? It now begins with "https"; meaning that the user name and password typed in will be encrypted before being sent to our server.

There is a standard among web browsers to display a "lock" icon somewhere in the window of the browser. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the lock icon at the lower right-hand side of the browser window:

Click (or double-click) the ‘padlock’ icon of your web browser to see details of the site's security.

This is good to know because some fraudulent web sites are built with a bar at the bottom of the web page to imitate the lock icon of your browser. But, you will be able to tell this is a fraudulent site because you won’t be able to click the ‘padlock’.

Digital certificates are issued by certification authorities to authenticate a website or elements of a website. The certificate verifies that the site is legitimate. Your web browser automatically accesses the certificate to check its legitimacy. If everything is as it should be, you session will carry on as normal. If there is a problem, your browser will issue a warning and your safest action is to close the website.

If you are unable to provide the correct user ID and password, you will not be granted access to online banking. After three unsuccessful login attempts, your user ID will be blocked automatically by our system. To re-enable your online banking user ID, please call us 24/7 on 0344 412 4444 (Calls to this number use free plan minutes if available, otherwise they cost the same as 01/02 prefix calls).

Our unique security features continue to protect you once you have logged in successfully. To protect your accounts against unauthorised access, our systems are designed to automatically terminate a secure online session if extended inactivity is detected. Hence if you log in and leave your session inactive for an unduly long period, the session will be terminated. If your session terminates automatically, you can log in again to continue your activities.


In addition, after logging in you cannot use the ‘Back', ‘Forward' and ‘Refresh' buttons on your browser. If you click on any of these buttons, your secure session will be logged out automatically. This is done to ensure that no unauthorised entry can be made in your online banking during your absence from your computer system.

This is one of the security mechanisms we use to protect our systems and your information. Our firewalls use a combination of industrial-strength computer hardware and software designed to protect our servers, computer systems, networks and database s from harmful information. During your secure online sessions, firewalls prevent unauthorised internet traffic from entering our website.

In order to effectively counter the latest security threats, we ensure that our systems are constantly updated to maintain the security of your accounts
