A bank Savings Account is a basic account that allows quick monetary transactions. As a liquid instrument, you can withdraw and deposit money anytime at your convenience. After introducing the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), even low-income families have opted for a Savings Account for their banking needs.

A Savings Account is a multifaceted account which helps in –

• Fund transfers to and from bank accounts

• Cash withdrawals

• Online payments

• Investments, etc.

However, the benefits of your Savings Accounts don’t end here. There are other ways in which you can unlock the true potential of the account. Read on!

Advantages of Savings Account

• Earning interest on the account balance

Most Savings Accounts require you to maintain a minimum monthly/quarterly balance. Non-maintenance attracts charges making it ideal to avoid. Maintaining the balance is also rewarding as you earn interest on it. The interest can go up to 7.25% p.a. and even higher.

For instance, if you choose Metra Trust Savings Account, you get interest up to 7.25% p.a.

The interest is paid on a compounded basis, i.e. you earn interest on the interest earned previously, increasing the return potential.

Compounding works magic if you hold the balance with a long-term perspective and let the returns grow.
