These changes will allow us to continue to improve our products and services to assist you better. For example, we have recently implemented a few improvements tied to your checking accounts:
- Our VISA branded Debit Card or ATM card has been upgraded with a secure chip, making your daily transactions more secure. You can also sign up for SMS alerts to monitor the card usage and “tap to go” for faster check-out. Request a debit card from your banker.
- To address our limited ATM locations, we waive fees, including ours and the third parties’, for withdrawing cash from other ATMs as long as you maintain certain deposit balances. We have recently lowered the required average daily balance from $15,000 to $5,000 in combined deposits to enjoy No ATM Access fees worldwide. For a Student Checking, this threshold is an average daily balance of $1,000.
- We recently launched our ICBC Mobile App, featuring both English and Chinese. With the mobile app, you can deposit checks, pay bills, and request wire transfers. Look for “ICBC Mobile Banking” in your App Store. Through the end of January 2021, download our app and sign up for eStatement, to receive a statement credit reward of $10.
We have also enhanced our mortgage program to offer preferred rates for high balance deposit customers, Ask your banker at your Branch about this program.
Thank you for banking with us, and we will continue to strive for excellence in servicing you. If you have any questions regarding the plan changes effective January 1, 2021, please call your local branch where you opened your account(s). Refer to their phone numbers as follows:
