ICICI BANK IFSC CODE

The Central Bank of India RBI has specified three ways for Indian citizens to transfer funds. These three methods are NEFT, RTGS and IMPS. But to monitor these transactions, RBI has introduced a code, known as IFSC (Indian Financial System Code). IFSC is allotted to all the bank branches in India, including ICICI Bank and its branches. 

The ICICI IFSC code comprises 11 digits. These 11 digits include both numbers and alphabets. The first 4 digits are the name of the bank. For ICICI it is ‘ICICI.’ The next digit is always a zero. It is positioned here for future use. The last 6 digits are the numbers. These numbers represent the precise bank branch. For example, the ICICI Bank credit card IFSC code for Mumbai is ICIC0000103.
