5 reasons why your money is safe in your Savings Account

A savings account might seem like the most basic banking product. However, it is anything but ordinary. It’s the starting point of financial stability for most people, and often, a quiet yet powerful support in your financial journey. While it may not promise high returns like some other avenues might, it offers something just as valuable — security, accessibility, and peace of mind.

What makes a savings account safe?
 

Think of a savings account as your money’s safe house. It doesn’t get invested or exposed to market risks. Instead, it is in an accessible account, earning interest, ready whenever you need it. And there’s more reassurance in knowing that deposits of up to ₹5 lakh are insured by the DICGC , a part of the RBI. That means your money is protected, no matter what happens to the bank.

Now, let’s get into the five solid reasons your savings account is a smart (and safe) place to keep your money.

Accessibility
 

You may have money invested in avenues that could yield better returns than what a savings account can do for you. However, money in your instant savings account is always accessible, unlike a fixed deposit or a mutual fund investment. You can directly access your money without any delay.

With IDFC FIRST Bank, this convenience gets an upgrade! You get unlimited ATM withdrawals at any bank, an intuitive mobile app, and full access to features like UPI, net banking, and more. Even for minors, accounts can be opened under a parent or guardian’s name, giving families a reliable way to start saving early.

Low Maintenance
 

Let’s face it — nobody wants to go through hassles to keep an account active. Thankfully, most savings accounts come with low fees and minimum requirements.

With IDFC FIRST Bank, you can start small with the Digital Savings Account, or if you’re looking for more benefits, you could opt for the 10K AMB variant (₹10,000 average monthly balance) or 25K AMB variant (₹25,000 average monthly balance requirement), which come packed with value and offers depending on the variant you choose.

Ease of operation
 

Savings accounts are incredibly easy to operate, whether you prefer using a passbook, ATM, or mobile banking. With IDFC FIRST Bank’s mobile app, you get total control to view balances, set up savings goals, make transfers, block your card, or generate your PIN — all in just a few clicks.

And if you ever need help, IDFC FIRST Bank’s support team is just a call away.

Family benefits

Unlike more complex investments, savings accounts make it easy for your family or nominee to access funds if something happens to you. Plus, joint accounts are easy to open, so managing money with your spouse or children becomes a shared responsibility.

And if you’re someone who likes to plan ahead, you can set up automatic bill payments or transfers too to avoid paying any penalties.

Valuable features

Depending on the variant you choose, your IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account can provide you with a wide set of perks:
