HDFC Bank is concerned with their profit only - to hell with customer care & comfort. Very bad experience. I am in Baroda ( Gujarat ) & extremely poor experience.
Another issue - comparing with other banks like ICICI Bank, we / my family have a/c in both for both demat & money. Now ICICI Bank & ICICI Direct are well run & you get all necessary work & accounts in here. But HDFC Bank are unmanageably delinked - HDFC Bank, HDFC Sec., HDFC Trading & they make us run from one to another. All business can be done on ICICI Bank - equity, MF etc., but in case of HDFC Bank you have to register separately & still face difficulties. They call you to do trading but disappear with "will check & revert" assurance. We can easily get short ' long term gains statement from ICICI Direct but this is simply not available on HDFC. Hdfc Bank relationship managers exist only in name but are simply helpless & take work lightly.
Overall very poor management from top - Mr. Parikh.
