Why small banks offer higher interest rates
Small finance banks are relatively new as compared to leading banks such as SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. Small banks need customers to trust them with their hard-earned money and that is why interest rates on all types of deposits – savings, recurring and fixed – are higher compared to regular banks, say wealth planners.
Major commercial banks offer modest interest rates on savings accounts. But small finance banks offer higher interest rates even on savings deposits.
