ICICI Bank Launches Instant Loan Against Mutual Fund Units
- ICICI Bank has launched a facility that enables retail customers to get loan of up to ₹1 crore instantaneously by pledging their holdings in both debt and equity mutual funds. The fully digital and paperless facility empowers the customers to avail this loan as an overdraft (OD) in a matter of few minutes, without visiting a branch and submitting physical documents.
- ICICI Bank has launched ‘Insta Loans against Mutual Funds’ in partnership with ‘Computer Age Management Services’ (CAMS). ‘Insta Loans against Mutual Funds’ is an extension of the Insta LAS, an instant loan facility against equity shares, which the bank had launched over a year ago.
- “We are happy to partner with CAMS for this facility to provide complete digital access for loans against mutual funds to our customers. With this facility, customers can leverage their mutual fund holdings to get access to funds instantly.” Rajesh Iyer, Head- Wealth, Private Banking and LAS, ICICI Bank said.
- “We are delighted that our portal is expanding further to serve mutual fund customers in newer ways. This is an important milestone in our mutual fund service journey,” Anuj Kumar, President & CEO, CAMS, said.
