Why Only Men Can Apply For This Savings Account?
The first reaction was shocking for us.
Why to design such an offer, and a special account, where women cannot apply, and only men can apply?
Then, after investigation, we found the answer: This is ICICI Bank’s new banking product, which is exclusively tailor-made for men.
Just like a mens-only premium savings account, ICICI Bank had previously launched women’s-only saving account, and a special account for senior citizens as well, which provided a higher rate of interest.
Pranav said, “Our research has identified different customer sub-segments who require different product propositions. In line with this, we had introduced new savings account offerings for senior citizens, working women and families.”
Do you think that such niche offers, based on males/females makes sense? Or this is the new future of Indian banking?
