What is the ActivMoney facility?

Through this facility you can earn a much higher interest on your idle funds in the Savings Bank Account. The idle funds from your savings account (at a pre-specified threshold limit) are transferred automatically to a term Deposit or a Liquid mutual Fund. The funds move back in to the savings account in case of funds requirements.

    The advantages of this facility are:
  • Higher rate of interest earned
  • You need NOT track idle funds regularly & give instructions to the bank to create Term Deposits out of Savings Account balances.
  • Greater Flexibility & Liquidity as the funds flow back into the Savings Account if the balance in the Savings Account falls below a particular level. Hence the customer need not bother about instructing the bank for breakage of Term Deposits/Mutual Fund units in case of shortage of funds. Further there is no fear of cheque returns.
