A savings bank account is the most common bank account used by an individual customer. Thanks to familiarity and convenience, it forms the basis for first-time interaction between an individual and their bank. You can maintain several types of savings accounts for various requirements.
However, as we explore other investment avenues that are more attractive and profitable, many of us divert funds from our bank account. Consequently, the savings bank account has started to lose its sheen in recent years.
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, banks are required to credit interest to the accounts of their account holders every quarter, though they can also do so every month. If you have a significant amount in your bank account, you can see your interest earnings accumulate on a monthly or quarterly basis. To benefit account holders, IDFC FIRST Bank offers competitive interest rates on savings accounts.
The savings account interest rate is determined every month based on your average account balance, and the cumulative interest thus earned is credited to your account.
A monthly return on a savings account means earning interest on your savings deposit that will be credited to your account at the end of every month. With this feature, you earn an interest income depending on your account balance and the interest rate offered to you.
IDFC FIRST Bank is among the few to offer monthly interest credit on all savings accounts (SBAs), which also offers customers several benefits in addition to the monthly return. Earning interest on an IDFC First Bank savings account means your savings will be compounded monthly, which can make a significant difference to your earnings over time.
But that’s not all. You will also earn a competitive interest rate on your savings account. As the interest is credited to your account on the first of every month, you need not wait three months.
Saving money is smart. Earning on your savings every month is smarter. Let your bank account work as hard as you do.
