“Our customers are our utmost priority and we are wholeheartedly dedicated to safe guarding their interests. It has come to our notice that about 17,000 new credit cards which were issued in the past few days were erroneously mapped in our digital channels to wrong users. They constitute about 0.1% of the Bank’s credit card portfolio. As an immediate measure, we have blocked these cards and are issuing new ones to the customers. We regret the inconvenience caused. No instance of misuse of a card from this set has been reported to us. However, we assure that the Bank will appropriately compensate a customer in case of any financial loss,” said a statement from an ICICI Bank spokesperson.
