1. Convenience
 

The days when you had to visit a bank and stand in a queue are long gone, thanks to digital banking. Online savings accounts offer you the convenience and ease of opening an account without leaving your home or office.

The KYC is done via a video call that takes a few minutes, and you can do this on your computer, laptop, or smartphone.

 

 

2. Speed
 

Nowadays, finding spare time can be a challenge for many people. Work commitments can take over a significant part of your day. Traffic and other personal obligations can further add to the chaos.

Some banks also offer biometric options when opening a digital savings account and logging into it later. So, you can sit back and relax. 

4. Easy to compare
 

Before you open a savings account online, you can easily compare different banks and their features.
