CUSTOMER INFORMATION

The customer information collected from the customers shall not be used for cross selling of services or products by the Bank, their subsidiaries and affiliates. If the Bank proposes to use such information, it should be strictly with the consent of the accountholder.


SECRECY OF CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNTS

The Bank shall not disclose details / particulars of the customer's account to a third person or party without the expressed or implied consent from the customer. However, there are some exceptions, viz. disclosure of information under compulsion of law, where there is a duty to public to disclose and where interest of the Bank requires disclosure.

You are within your rights to complain to IBA, BCSBI,RBI.

Bank has right to share information about your account with fellow bankers and also with CIBIL.

Thanks a lot Mr. Kumar and Chandrasekhar

Banks don't have any specific right to disclose particulars of your account to outsiders, violating secrecy of customers; but banks take an undertaking from you, under the KYC norms, to allow the bank to disclose such particulars to CIBIL or other bankers/ FIs.

It is felt that the discussion has drifted from bank account to credit card also.

Banks can not take it as a matter off right. Even if banks have modified the application form banks have to adhere to a set system.Banks have to supply a proper notice before reporting to CIBIL

6.2 Customer confidentiality:

(a) Instances have come to light where banks, as part of the MITCs, obtain the consent of the customer for sharing the information furnished by him while applying for the credit card, with other agencies.Banks should give the customer the option to decide as to whether he is agreeable for the bank sharing with other agencies the information furnished by him at the time of applying for credit card.The application form for credit card may be suitably modified to explicitly and clearly provide for the same.The application form for credit card may be suitably modified to explicitly and clearly provide for the same.Further, in case where the customers gives his consent for the bank
DBOD-MC on Credit card operations of banks - 2010

sharing the information with other agencies, banks should explicitly state and explain clearly to the customer the full meaning/ implications of the disclosure clause. Banks/NBFCs should satisfy themselves, based on specific legal advice,that the information being sought from them is not of such nature as will violate the provisions of the laws relating to secrecy in the transactions. Banks/NBFCs would be solely responsible for the correctness or otherwise of the data provided for the purpose.

b. In case of providing information relating to credit history / repayment record of the card holder to a credit information company (specifically authorized by RBI), the bank/NBFC may explicitly bring to the notice of the customer that such information is being provided in terms of the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005.
c. Before reporting default status of a credit card holder to the Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd. (CIBIL) or any other credit information Company authorized by RBI, banks/NBFCs should ensure that they adhere to a procedure, duly approved by their Board, including issuing of sufficient notice to such card holder about the intention to report him/ her as defaulter to the Credit Information Company.


1.4 Fair Practices Code

Such of the banks which have subscribed to the BCSBI Code may incorporate the principles contained in BCSBI Code for evolving their Fair Practices Code for credit card operations, in lieu of IBA Fair Pratices Code for credit card operations. The banks’ Fair Practices Code, should at a minimum, incorporate the relevant guidelines contained in this Master Circular. Banks/NBFCs should also widely disseminate the contents of this Master Circular, including through their websites.
