YES Bank Launches “XLrate Savings Account”, Offering Higher Returns for Customers

YES Bank launched XLrate savings account, in line with the Bank’s endeavor of offering valued added product and initiatives, curated especially for customers looking for higher returns. This smart savings account transfers balances above Rs. 1 lakh from the saving account automatically into a Fixed Deposit (FD), thereby offering a higher interest rate on the surplus funds. The amount in excess of Rs. 1 lakh in savings account will be swept out into a FD for a tenure of one year, one day (minimum FD amount of Rs. 25,000).

With this account, customers can now avail easy liquidity through the auto sweep in and sweep out facility and can also link multiple deposits to the savings account. In case, the account balance falls below Rs. 25,000, the shortfall is adjusted from the FD linked to that saving account. The deposits are broken in multiples of Rs. 1 on a last in first out basis, therefore only the amount of shortfall actually needed is swept out from FD to Savings account and the remaining amount continues to earn higher FD interest.
