Ria has just received her first half-yearly incentive at work and wants to invest. Family members and senior friends have advised her to start saving as soon as she starts earning as it will help build financial discipline. She decides to browse
the internet to check interest rates offered by banks on Fixed Deposits. She notices a bank offering a higher rate than the one where she has her salary account. However, she would also like to avoid going through the paperwork of opening
a new savings bank account in the other bank.
Ranjit is planning to buy a music system a few months later as a gift for his parents’ wedding anniversary. He has some savings but is worried that he may end up spending it before the occasion. So he decides to invest it in an FD. But can he get a higher return than that offered by his bank without too much of an effort?
Ria and Ranjit can enjoy higher rates without first opening a new savings bank account with Axis Bank’s Express FD. It offers competitive interest rates on FDs and can be opened
entirely online with no documentation. Let us see how.
