Benefits of opening an FD without a Savings or Current Account

Fixed Deposits have long been a preferred investment choice due to their safety and predictable returns. Traditionally, starting an FD required having a Savings or Current Account with a bank. However, innovative banking solutions now allow you to open an FD without a Savings or Current Account, offering a seamless way to invest your money and earn interest over a fixed term.

Axis Bank now offers you the option of investing in a Fixed Deposit by transferring funds from any other bank account. This is possible via mobile banking using the Axis Open app. Even if you have a loan or Credit Card with Axis Bank, but not a Savings Account or a Current Account, you can book an FD via the Axis mobile app.
