Why invest in FD?
- Secure investments: Fixed Deposits are ideal for risk-averse investors, offering safe and secure investment options with steady and pre-determined returns. They are also an optimal option for investors to balance
out their risk against market-linked instruments.
- Higher returns: Fixed Deposits generally provide higher returns than Savings Accounts, helping you reach your financial goals over various time horizons.
- Flexibility: With tenures ranging from 7 days to 10 years, Fixed Deposits offer flexibility in terms of investment tenure. You can also choose your payout frequency, whether it is a single payout at maturity or regular
monthly or quarterly payouts.
- Variety: Axis Bank offers various Fixed Deposit options like Regular FD, Digital FD, Tax-Saver FD, Fixed Deposit Plus, and Auto FD to suit different financial goals. Additionally, senior citizens can benefit from special
higher interest rates on Fixed Deposits.
