Ujjivan SFB alters savings account interest rates: Check details here

Interest rates on savings bank deposits have been revised by the DICGC-insured Ujjivan Small Finance Bank (SFB).

Ujjivan SFB will now offer an interest rate of 6.00% on savings account balance above Rs. 1 lakh up to Rs. 5 lakh, savings account balance above Rs. 5 lakh up to 1 Crore will now fetch a maximum rate of 7% whereas savings account balance of above Rs. 1 Crore and up to Rs. 10 Crore will now fetch an interest rate of 6%.

In comparison to previous interest rates, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank formerly offered a 7 per cent interest rate on savings account balances of more than 1 lakh to 25 lakhs, and a 6 per cent interest rate on savings account balances of more than 25 lakhs to 10 crores. The bank would continue to provide savings account holders with an interest rate of 6.75 per cent on balances more than Rs. 10 crores. The bank does not provide senior citizens with an additional rate benefit on savings accounts, and interest is determined on day-end balances kept in the savings account and paid on a quarterly basis. 

Savings account holders should note that only the balances kept in an account according to stated slabs of the bank will be subject to the higher interest rate. “If a customer maintains Rs.120,000/- in the savings account, 3.50% interest will be earned for Rs.100,000/- and 6.00% interest will be earned for the remaining Rs.20,000/-," Ujjivan Small Finance Bank has mentioned on its website as an example for higher interest rate applicable.
