Typically, when money or salary is parked in your savings account, it creates a comfortable pool of funds to use at will. A bout of feel-good shopping, the all-important household expenses, fuel for the car or an occasional indulgence, a Savings Bank account is the go-to resource for us! Funds or money readily available in the account is called – liquidity. Liquidity means that we have the benefit of instant, or near instant availability of money whenever the need arises. Be it cash, ATM, online or mobile app payment via

internet banking or Debit Card – funds are available instantly.

The fabulous convenience of liquidity however doesn’t result in the funds earning much when parked in the Savings Bank account!

What does this mean? This attractive interest rate for Savings Bank account enables you, the account holder to save more and be future ready with greater spending power in your hands.

Interest that you earn by simply parking money in the Savings bank account is calculated on progressive balance amount in each interest rate range described in the interest rate table 1.
