Yes Bank Launches India’s 1st Customizable Saving A/C; Ties Up With T-Hub To Help Fintech Startups
Yes Bank, which is India’s 5th largest bank as per market capital, has launched India’s 1st customizable saving bank account. Designed for those banking customers who are stuck with traditional, and orthodox saving account format, this new saving account format has been empowered with several customizations to suit the customer.
As per statements issued by the bank, such customizable saving account’s biggest contribution has been to remove unnecessary and redundant features which no one wants in this age of ‘less-cash’ economy.
Pralay Mondal, Senior Group President, Retail and Business Banking at Yes Bank said, “With the launch of our revolutionary ‘Customizable Savings Account’ we are truly enhancing the customers’ banking experience by giving them the Power to Choose. Recently, Yes Bank also launched a fully-customizable Current Account for its business customers.”
5 major customizable options which this new banking format allows:
- Option to have Debit Card or Net Banking or both (why to issue a debit card if there is no usage)
- Alternatives to minimum balance requirement (customers can choose their own minimum balance)
- ATM usage options (like how many ATM withdrawals you want in a month)
- Digital banking products (more details are awaited)
- Family grouping options (almost like closed-calling group in telecom)
Besides providing maximum tax benefits, this new saving account will also give an interest rate of 6% on the savings.
