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.

How to open a Savings Account online?

You can open an IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account via the online mode by visiting the Bank’s official website or mobile app. First, choose between the ₹10,000 Average Monthly Balance (AMB) or ₹25,000 AMB variant as per your needs. Next, fill out your details, submit your Aadhaar number and PAN, and complete the KYC verification. Setting up your Savings Account online with IDFC FIRST Bank is easy and seamless!

What are the different types of Savings Accounts?

IDFC FIRST Bank offers two types of Savings Accounts based on the AMB (Average Monthly Balance) requirements: one requiring ₹10,000 Average Monthly Balance (AMB) and the other requiring ₹25,000 AMB. These account types offer benefits like high interest rates, monthly interest credits, zero-fee banking, and easy access to digital banking features.

Based on the type of applicants, IDFC FIRST Bank also offers the following Savings Accounts: 

• FIRST Power Women’s Savings Account – A savings account specifically designed for women that offers features like complimentary medical benefits through MediBuddy, discount on locker rentals, exclusive offers on Debit Card, monthly interest credits, and higher interest rates.

• Seniors Citizens Savings Account – This account is designed for seniors above the age of 60 years and comes with medical benefits through MediBuddy, ₹2 lakhs coverage against online fraud, 0.5% additional ROI on FD and free doorstep banking.

• Minor’s Savings Account - Designed for minors, this account can be opened jointly with parents or guardians. Also, minors aged between 10 to 18 years can open a FIRST Prodigy Savings Account, a self-operated minor savings account that offers features like monthly interest credits, high daily debit limit of ₹40,000, education cover of ₹5 lakhs, and more.

Can a customer transfer dues to CreditPro Balance Transfer from Multiple Cards?

If you are applying for your first IDFC FIRST Bank unsecured credit card, you will get a credit limit as per our internal policies. If you already have an IDFC FIRST Bank unsecured credit card, your new credit card will also have the same credit limit. The credit limit, however, will be shared across all unsecured credit cards.

What does my credit score need to be?

Yes. You will earn:

  1. 10 reward points for incremental spends above ₹20,000 in a statement cycle and on your birthday.
  2. 5 reward points on spends up to ₹20,000 in a statement cycle.
  3. 3 reward points on Education, Wallet Load, Government, Rent and Property Management/Purchase transactions. 1 reward point on utilities and insurance transactions. Spends in these categories will not be considered for the 10X monthly milestone.
  4. Reward points will not be given on spends converted to EMI, Cash Withdrawal, Fuel, Fee and Charges.
  5. 1 reward point is given for every ₹150 spent in a transaction. Value of 1 reward point is ₹0.25.

Why should you apply for a Credit Card at IDFC FIRST Bank?

Education, Wallet Load, Government, Rent and Property Management/Purchase transactions, Utilities, Insurance, EMI, Cash Withdrawal, Fuel, Fee and Charges. Only those transactions which are settled by the merchant before the statement generation will be considered. If a transaction is settled after the statement is generated, it will not accrue 10X rewards. Rewards for such transactions will be credited after the next statement generation.
