ESG
Every month, your salary hits your account, and that’s the moment you start to budget, spend, save, and invest. Many people continue using their savings accounts for salary credits, which works well for general banking needs. But have you ever thought about whether your savings account is truly built around your income flow and financial habits?
That’s where a salary account comes in. Designed with the needs of working professionals in mind, it offers features that align more closely with day-to-day financial life.
If you are considering making the switch, IDFC FIRST Bank makes the entire process simple and hassle-free. Let’s go through the process step-by-step.
Steps to convert a Savings Account to a Salary Account
The process of converting your savings account to a salary account is simple, but it requires proper coordination between you, your employer, and the bank. Here is how you can do it effectively with IDFC FIRST Bank:
Step 1: Submit a request
You can simply visit the nearest branch to get started. Submit a formal request to convert your savings account to a salary account.
Step 2: Share employer details
Next, provide information about your employer:
- A recent salary slip
- A letter of employment
Make sure your employer has a salary tie-up with IDFC FIRST Bank.
Step 3: Complete the KYC process
If your account is missing any key identification or address details, you will need to provide updated documents to meet KYC compliance. This might include:
- Aadhaar card
- PAN card
- Other officially valid documents
Step 4: Verification
Once submitted, the concerned team will verify your details, including employer information.
Step 5: Confirmation of conversion
Upon successful verification, you will get a confirmation via SMS or email. From this point onward, your account operates as a salary account. At IDFC FIRST Bank, you will receive a welcome kit in which you will find all the necessary information needed to operate a bank account.
Step 6: Notify your employer
Don’t forget to inform your employer’s payroll team that your salary should now be credited to your updated account. Share any updated account details if necessary.
With IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Accounts, you also enjoy free access to OTT platforms, Swiggy One Lite and Amazon Prime membership, a rewarding debit card, and more.
Benefits of converting Savings Account to Salary Account
Wondering why go through the trouble of switching accounts? Because salary accounts, especially ones with IDFC FIRST Bank, are designed to give you more than just a place to deposit your earnings. Here are the benefits you enjoy:
· No minimum balance requirement
One of the biggest advantages of having a salary account is the no minimum balance requirement as long as salary is being credited. You can use the money in the account without worrying about keeping a specific amount at all times or facing penalties for falling short.
· Monthly interest credits
With an IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Account, you earn one of the most competitive interest rates in the industry. Moreover, the interest is credited monthly rather than quarterly. This results in faster compounding and improved returns.
· Unlimited ATM withdrawals
With a salary account, you can enjoy unlimited free ATM withdrawals without stressing about paying extra charges.
· Zero-fee banking
As an IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Account holder, you enjoy zero fees on all common banking services like:
- Online money transfers
- Debit Card and DD issuance
- Chequebook reissuance

- IDFC FIRST Bank Platinum Plus Salary Account: Provides enhanced protection with a personal accident cover of ₹50 lakh and air accident cover of up to ₹1 crore.
· Priority banking experience
As a Salary Account holder, you get access to priority services, faster assistance, and even dedicated relationship managers for a more personalised banking journey.
