ICICI Bank Opens Startup-Focused Branch in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout

ICICI Bank has inaugurated a new branch in HSR Layout, Bengaluru, aimed at catering to the growing needs of the city’s thriving startup ecosystem. Located on 19th Main Road, Sector 3, the branch is designed as a one-stop destination for startups, combining digital-first banking with personalized relationship management.

Bengaluru has long been recognised as India’s startup capital, and HSR Layout in particular has emerged as a buzzing hub, home to hundreds of early-stage companies, incubators, and co-working spaces. The new ICICI branch seeks to tap into this concentration of entrepreneurial activity by offering tailored solutions for both founders and employees.

Business services include current accounts such as GIFT City accounts, overdraft facilities, corporate credit cards, escrow and foreign currency accounts, and working capital loans. Financing options extend to schemes under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), as well as loans backed by SBLCs and fixed deposits.

On the personal banking front, the branch offers family banking arrangements, 3-in-1 demat accounts, home and personal loans, investment products, and credit cards. Startups can also benefit from ICICI’s 250+ APIs, digital payment solutions, and access to global banking services such as Swift remittances, FDI, and ODI transactions.

With a dedicated relationship team and networking opportunities with venture capitalists, the branch aims to become more than just a bank—it hopes to serve as an engagement hub for Bengaluru’s startup community.
