savings account interest rate

Small Finance Banks (SFBs) are out there in the market a little over 5 years now. Initially most of them were into a war on Fixed Deposit interest rates and have been successful in mobilizing a lot of deposits from the market and peer private/ public sector banks. While competition in the Term Deposits will stay for longer time, SFBs are back with savings account interest war. Many of them have been aggressively offering up to 7% interest for quite some time now. But many have revised their rates recently. While higher savings interest rates will burn a hole in their profit margins, it’s a boon time for customers who can enjoy higher rates as long as they are available.
