Digital banking benefits
 

Let’s explore the benefits you get with your quick-access Savings Account -

● Easy account setup
 

Setting up a quick-access Savings Account is a simple and hassle-free process. It’s less time-consuming than physically visiting a bank branch, filling out the application form, and providing know-your-customer (KYC) documents.

Here, you need to -

● Input the one-time password (OTP) received on your mobile number

● Click on to proceed to open the account

● You can do it 24X7 from anywhere, anytime at your convenience.

● Quick fund transfer
 

An instant Savings Account facilitates fund transfer from one account to another in seconds. All you need to do is enter the beneficiary details, including name, account number, IFSC code, the amount, and other requisite details. The money is credited within minutes.

This digital banking feature is extremely handy when sending money on short notice, especially in emergencies.

● 24X7 account access
 

You can log into your quick-access Savings Account 24X7 for any need. With this feature, you can manage and monitor your account at any time that suits you the best. During regular banking hours, weekends, or holidays, you can keep track of your account, review transaction history, transfer funds, make payments, etc.

● Enhanced security
 

Of late, there has been a significant rise in bank fraud. In the financial year 2023, the number of fraud cases was 13,530. Digital banking protects against fraud by deploying robust encryption and multi-factor authentication (MFA) processes for enhanced security.

Offering a secure banking experience, you can block your card in a few clicks if you lose it or accidentally reveal confidential details to fraudsters.

● Seamless integration with digital banking platforms
 

Another major benefit of a quick-access Savings Account is the seamless integration with platforms such as the United Payments Interface (UPI) for making payments or transferring funds. It eliminates the need for carrying cash and in-person visits to branches.

You can take control of your finances from the comfort of your home or office.
