Send money using your favourite social media platforms through Social Pay

ICICI Bank through its recently launched facility, ‘Social Pay’, enables NRIs to send money to a beneficiary in India using social platform such as WhatsApp as well as e-mail through the bank’s Money2India app. 

This new facility allows NRIs to send money conveniently to their friends and family, to whom they occasionally remit money. 

So, the next time you wish to send money to India, you can do it from the comfort of your favourite social media app.

Transfer money to India with a voice command to Apple’s Siri

If you are an NRI and have been seeking a quick and convenient solution for transferring money to any bank in India, this might just be your answer.

ICICI Bank became the first bank in the country to offer voice-based international remittance service on its Money2India application for its NRI customers.

With this facility, an NRI customer can instantly initiate a remittance to his/her existing payees in India with just a simple voice command to Apple’s virtual voice assistant, Siri, on his/her Apple iPhone / iPad. It improves customer’s convenience significantly as it replaces a five-step process which was required to initiate a remittance to India earlier.

Available 24x7 and on-all-days, this service can be used by the users of ‘Money2India’ mobile app using Apple iPhone or iPad with iOS version10 and above.
