Airtel Payments Bank (6% interest on deposits over 1 lakh)

[mhsabir]

lol. Very straightforward strategy followed by guys like Airtel & IDFC - Promise more than anyone. - get a lot of deposits and then reduce in a matter of months.

Takes a second to withdraw funds. Not sure what they are trying to achieve. People looking for best interest won't just keep money in their accounts.

FD is the only way to lock funds.

With FD interest rate is also locked.

May be hoping the MAB (if any life IDFC) will be locked.

I have to maintain 25K in idfc. I have no reason to stay there. Indus give 5% over 1L balance. Would move there and shut down my account.

Not sure what they are trying to achieve.

May be trying to keep up their books.... Some statutory requirement or of that sort of thing.....

i am otherwise quite happy with idfc. both indus and yes have fucked up yearly statement format. idfc format is fantastic. i would love to continue with them. but i cannot dump yes or indus at the moment coz of fds and other commitments. so the options are to keep it operational with 25K stuck in it or dump it. and since the bank has shown absolutely no shame in recent months. i mean they did not even send any emails about interest drop. i find out about interest rate change from here before local branch employees. lol. it's hilarious.

 

[Smh]

Yeah I still did not got any email about new rates

here i was annoyed with yes bank. they threaten to stop sending some sms alerts if you do not transact in a month. this is despite the fact that they started charging for sms alerts few months ago and you cannot disable them.
