No matter the kind of business you run, one thing must be crucial – optimum utilisation of resources. Whether that is physical resources like raw materials and machinery, human resources like employees, or financial resources like capital, it’s essential for you to apply them strategically to make sure that they aren’t left idle when they could be adding to productivity and revenue.
However, ensuring your capital is optimally utilised can often be tricky. This is because the business environment is rapid and unpredictable, and you never know how much money you’re going to need and when to make the most of a buying opportunity or when you will need additional funds to meet emergency expenses. Hence, quite a few business owners keep more funds than required in their Current Accounts. You, however, can avoid this and make the best use of your funds with a Kotak Current Account featuring ActivMoney*. Let’s see how.
What is ActivMoney?
ActivMoney is a special feature available with select Kotak Current Account variants that helps utilise the idle funds in your Current Account by putting them to work to boost your earnings. It is an auto-sweep facility that converts balance above a certain limit into a Fixed Deposit, earning attractive returns.
Why should you opt for ActivMoney with your Kotak Current Account?
Kotak ActivMoney is an auto-sweep facility designed to improve capital efficiency for your business banking needs. It automatically transfers surplus funds — once they exceed a pre-defined threshold — from your Current Account into 91-day Fixed Deposits, helping you get more value from idle balances without compromising liquidity.
In addition to the auto sweep facility, Kotak Current Accounts also support business requirements like TFX settlements, POS transactions, CMS integration, free cash withdrawals, free unlimited demand drafts, and more — making it a comprehensive banking solution for modern enterprises.
