Television Banking: ICICIActive on DishTV

Got this email from ICICI bank yesterday about launch of what they call “Tevelision Banking”.  All that the email contained was this image.

To be honest this is the first time I heard the term “Television Banking” and I found the proposition intriguing.

Just when you can’t seem to figure out why are most banks/branches closed on a sunday ? or why a cheque deposited on a Thursday afternoon won’t be credited till Monday morning ?, this innovative new concept from a bank seems cool and definitely useful.

Here’s a visual walkthrough of what happened after clicking the link for online demo.

This gives you fair idea of what “Television Banking” is all about. Also, the ability to pay your dishtv subscription from your ICICI bank using your TV is definitely useful.

While not everyone might need this, but the sheer thought of banking(though limited) on your TV while lying in your bed at any time of the day, wants you to give it a try.

What do you think ?

    Thanks for the blogpost. I also got this mail from ICICI today morning and was curios to know what exactly are they doing on the TV.

    BTW, do you know about youtube.com/tv ?

    I guess they’ve mailed it to every customer of theirs in parts. It will be interesting to see what response the service gets

    I just checked youtube.com/tv which gets redirected to youtube.com/xl. Looks interesting. Need to explore more.

    Thanks !

    Hi, my company is also showing ICICI TV Banking on our own Set Top Box. But application is in process of improvement.
