When it comes to savings, you would logically go for a bank that provides you best interest rates. However, the issue that majority of people face these days is banks with the best interest rates for their fixed deposits (FDs) often go unnoticed. The reason being, big banks often takes up the spotlight & the small lenders lose that foothold in public’s eyes.
The rates offered by the top lenders such as HDFC Bank, State Bank of India & ICICI Bank amongst others have been falling for quite some times now.
Here are some of the Small Finance Banks, which provides you the best interest rates on FDs. Most of them give better rates than that of the aforementioned top lenders. Small finance banks can offers the customers anywhere between 3% to 7% and above on their FD rates, depending on your age & the tenure of the scheme you opt for.
