You can choose between the two variants based on your financial preferences and cash flow. However, if you choose to open an account with higher initial funding, you’d be able to earn higher interest on your savings. 

What is the minimum account balance required to be maintained monthly in the FIRST Power Savings Account?

An Average Monthly Balance (AMB) of ₹10,000 or ₹25,000 must be maintained, depending on the account variant you choose. It’s crucial to maintain the required AMB to continue enjoying zero-fee banking and other benefits and to avoid non-maintenance charges.

How does the monthly interest credits feature work and how will I benefit from it?

IDFC FIRST Bank credits interest to your Savings Account monthly, rather than quarterly, as is common with many banks. This means you receive interest earnings more frequently, enhancing your ability to compound savings and manage cash flow effectively.
