Here’s why you should open a second savings account with IDFC FIRST Bank

Summary: You might wonder why you should use more than one account. With multiple savings accounts, you can watch your progress toward various goals. Know more!

07 May 2021 by IDFC FIRST Bank

Having a single savings catering to your needs is common. But many may often hold more than one savings account, which begs the question – is it worth opening a second account?

The benefits of opening a separate savings account

When planning to save money, opening a separate savings account can be a good measure. A savings account is a deposit account wherein the bank pays interest on the money deposited in it. You can maximise your savings by depositing idle money into and it and withdraw the amount when needed. The remainder of the balance can keep earning interest.

A separate savings account can help you get a clear picture of how much you are actually saving. The earlier you open an account, the more funds you can accumulate. Investing money in a separate savings account can help you prepare yourself in the event of any emergencies. You can allocate a budget to your savings account and save the required amount of emergency funds. The money deposited in the account will be available 24x7. In case of an emergency, you may withdraw money from the account anytime, anywhere.
