Apart from iMobile Pay, ICICI Bank also has other remarkable apps that customers can download and use for their various banking or investing activities. While iMobile is the most comprehensive, ICICI Bank also offers other options, such as the ICICI Direct online trading platform with its own app.

The ICICI Direct mobile app is an online trading software that allows investors to trade in mutual funds, engage in SIP or Systematic Investment Plans, purchase health insurance, and participate in net banking. The ICICI Direct application can be downloaded from Google Play and AppStore.

Like iMobile and many other trading applications, you need to register and create an account first before you can start trading or engage with the ICICI web trade. The ICICI trading app is also available for Windows 8.1 devices. Login to the ICICI Direct online app is available only to registered users.

Note! It is always recommended to know the basic rules of trading before using the ICICIDirect online app or its desktop version. Trading is risky regardless of what application you decide to use.

The ICICI Prudential Life Insurance mobile app, on the other hand, is software that allows customers to take control of their insurance policies. With the app, users no longer have to physically go to the bank and wait in long queues to have their policy documents printed. Everything related to their ICICI Pru Insurance can be found and managed in the mobile app.

Conclusion

Before deciding on which ICICI online applications to use, think first about what you need the app for. Are you need it for the usual banking activities, such as managing savings, current, PPF, or credit card accounts? Do you need it for bill payments or funds transfers? Or do you want an app where you can create a trading account or manage your insurance?

Taking all these factors into consideration can help you make a sound choice on the best ICICI app to use. Although iMobile is already a comprehensive one, there may be features that you will find more helpful for your needs in the other available apps.
