How does the Monthly Interest Credits feature work and how will I benefit from it?

With an IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Account, experience the joy of earning Monthly Interest Credits on your Salary Account. You earn 'interest on interest' with the power of monthly compounding. IDFC FIRST Bank is the first universal bank in India to provide this feature, against the standard practice of crediting interest on your Salary Account every quarter.

Monthly compounding interest payout is better for you than Quarterly interest payout because when you get interest credit in Month 1, the interest for Month 2 is paid on your opening balance + interest received in Month 1 and so on. So, you earn more on your savings! 

Interest will be calculated on progressive balances in each interest rate slab, as applicable. Please note, interest rates are subject to periodic change. Can you afford to not have an IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Account?
