With an IDFC FIRST Bank Salary Account, experience the joy of earning monthly interest credits on your Salary Account. With this feature, 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, contrary to the standard practice of crediting interest to your Salary Account every quarter.
Monthly interest payouts are better than quarterly interest payouts, because when you get interest credited in Month 1, the interest in 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.
IDFC FIRST Bank offers Zero Fee Banking with its Salary Accounts, which lets you enjoy 36 Salary Account services like IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, ATM transactions, Cash transactions, Cheque book issuance, SMS alerts and many more at Zero Charges.
