About this branch

The branch is located at ICICI BANK LTD., NO.224/B, GST ROAD, URAPAKKAM, TAMIL NADU.603210. It serves the Chennai region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of ICICI Bank Limited.

Why every ICICI Bank Limited branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including URAPAKKAM of ICICI Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code ICIC0003218 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC ICIC0003218 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

NEFT to ICICI Bank Limited, URAPAKKAM using IFSC ICIC0003218

National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.

Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to ICICI Bank Limited – URAPAKKAM, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC ICIC0003218 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to ICICI Bank Limited URAPAKKAM (IFSC ICIC0003218)

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

All three modes accept the IFSC ICIC0003218 for ICICI Bank Limited – URAPAKKAM, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

For most retail customers crediting the Urapakkam branch, NEFT or IMPS will be the quickest and most economical option. RTGS comes in for one-off, high-value movements such as property purchases, vendor settlements or large gifts.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at ICICI Bank Limited's URAPAKKAM branch, the IFSC ICIC0003218 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
