History

  • 1955 The World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry formed ICICI Limited as a development finance institution to provide medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. (Similar financial institutions included IDBI and SIDBI). ICICI was not a bank - it could not take retail deposits - and nor was it required to comply with Indian banking requirements for liquid reserves. ICICI borrowed funds from many multilateral agencies (such as the World Bank), often at concessional rates. It used these to make large corporate loans.
  • 1994 ICICI established ICICI Banking Corporation as a banking subsidiary. Later, ICICI Banking Corporation was renamed as 'ICICI Bank Limited'. ICICI founded a separate legal entity, ICICI Bank, to undertake normal banking operations - taking deposits, credit cards, car loans etc.
  • 1999 ICICI became the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to list on the NYSE.
  • 2001 ICICI acquired Bank of Madura (est. 1943). Bank of Madura was a Chettiar bank, and had acquired Chettinad Mercantile Bank (est. 1933) and Illanji Bank (established 1904) in the 1960s.
  • 2002 The Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the reverse merger of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, into ICICI Bank. After receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, ICICI integrated the group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, into a single entity. Also in 2002, ICICI Bank bought the Shimla and Darjeeling branches that Standard Chartered Bank had inherited when it acquired Grindlays Bank.
  • 2002 ICICI established representative offices in NY and London.
  • 2003 ICICI opened subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK), and in the UK it established alliance with Lloyds TSB. It also opened an Offshore Banking Unit (OBU) in Singapore and representative offices in Dubai and Shanghai.
  • 2004 ICICI opens a rep office in Bangladesh to tap the extensive trade between that country, India and South Africa.
  • 2005 ICICI acquired Investitsionno-Kreditny Bank (IKB), a Russia bank with about US$4mn in assets, head office in Balabanovo in the Kaluga region, and with a branch in Moscow. ICICI renamed the bank ICICI Bank Eurasia. ICICI Bank offered a high-interest (5.4% gross) internet savings account to UK customers. Also, ICICI established a branch in Dubai International Financial Centre and in Hong Kong.
  • 2006 ICICI Bank UK opened a branch in Antwerp, in Belgium. ICICI opened representative offices in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur.
  • 2007 ICICI amalgamated Sangli Bank, which was headquartered in Sangli, in Maharashtra State, and which had 158 branches in Maharashtra and another 31 in Karnataka State.

ICICI Bank Eurasia opened a second branch, this time in St. Petersburg.
  • 2008 ICICI Bank launched [2] iMobile, a comprehensive Mobile banking solution. iMobile is considered to be a breakthrough innovation in Indian Banking which allows a customer to do all possible transactions through a GPRS-enabled mobile phone.

Comments of ICICI Bank Limited on S7-15-03 (1958 words)
ICICI Bank agrees that an exemption for non-U.S. banks, based on scope and conditions that are comparable to the statutory exemption conditions for U.S. insured depository institutions, is in the public interest and consistent with investor protection and ICICI Bank thanks the SEC for taking action.
ICICI Bank believes that the proposed alternative CCS condition should not be satisfied solely by a CCS determination specific to the non-U.S. bank, but that it should also permit a non-U.S. bank to rely upon a CCS determination in respect of another bank from its home country.
Accordingly, ICICI Bank would be excluded from the proposed exemption notwithstanding its inability to direct a change in Indian law and notwithstanding that factually it complies with the minimum content requirements on account of its internal norms or policies.
