IDFC FIRST Bank

What is a Savings Account?

A Savings Account is a deposit account offered by banks. This account lets you deposit your funds and earn interest. With the IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account, available in ₹10,000 Average Monthly Balance (AMB) and ₹25,000 AMB variants, you can safely park your funds and enjoy competitive interest rates.

A Savings Account encourages consistent saving due to the interest component, while also offering liquidity and quick access to funds via ATM, online banking and cheques. Though Savings Accounts offer a lower interest rate compared to Fixed Deposits, they provide greater flexibility.
