Zero Balance, Maximum Benefits
One of the standout features of Kotak811 is its zero balance requirement. Traditional banks often mandate a minimum balance, penalising customers who might not maintain it consistently. Kotak811 eliminates this hurdle, and ensures customers' money works smarter for them without any strings attached. Whether a seasoned saver or just starting a financial journey, the freedom from minimum balance constraints is a big plus.
Earn up to 7% Interest p.a.
Interest rates on savings accounts often hover around the 2-3% mark, providing nominal returns that cannot keep pace with today's inflation. Kotak811 disrupts this norm by offering an impressive interest rate of up to 7% with its ActivMoney feature. This higher rate ensures money not only stays secure but also grows at a pace that outpaces many traditional savings options.
Flexible deposits can be automatically moved into the savings account without any commitment to a lock-in period. This is done to cover any shortfall of funds. Excess funds that exceed the limit of ?25,000 are directed appropriately. Kotak811's ActivMoney facility ensures optimal utilisation of funds by booking them in multiples of ?5,000. Once the amount of ActivMoney is transferred, the interest gets credited every 180 days, maximising the earning potential.
Secured Credit Cards and Fixed Deposits
Kotak811 goes beyond the limits of a traditional savings account by offering additional financial tools such as secured credit cards and fixed deposits. The secured credit card, backed by a Fixed Deposit (FD), serves as a bridge for individuals with no employment or credit history.
