Consolidated Company Statement

Useful for monitoring Card usage and payments, the ICICI Bank's Corporate Card system provides the organization with details of each Card Member's expenditure. It lists the date, place, amount of expenditure, the net amount payable by each Card Member, and at the end of the report, the grand total for the company.

Individual Account Description

Once the organization nominates their employees to become ICICI Bank's Corporate Card Members, they can receive reports. These will tell the organization in a variety of useful ways, how Card members are incurring expenses. Your employees simply need to charge expenses and pay back conveniently after receiving their statement. Card Members will receive a billing statement each month that lists their charges and payment activity.
