ICICI Bank has launched the a fully automated digital locker named Smart Vault, which is equipped with multi-layer security system. The vault would be available to customers even on weekends and post banking hours. The security features of the vault includes biometric and PIN authentication and debit cards. Customers can access it without any intervention by the branch staff. The Smart Vault is launched by ICICI Bank MD and CEO Chanda Kochhar.
