Five Benefits of a Zero-Balance Savings Account No One Told You About

Posted on Friday, September 29th, 2023 | By IndusInd Bank

Using a savings account is a hassle-free experience but you must maintain a minimum average balance. A zero-balance savings account allows you to use your funds without worrying about minimum balance requirements. IndusInd Bank presents Indus Delite, a zero-balance savings account with no minimum balance requirement and marked by competitive interest rates, cashback and deals, and an easy zero-balance account opening online process.

Using a savings account is typically a smooth experience – be it transacting regularly, withdrawing money, or maintaining your monthly budget. The only catch is that you must maintain a minimum average balance in the account. A zero-balance savings account, on the other hand, imposes no such mandate on customers, allowing them to use or keep their funds as they please.

Zero-balance savings accounts are designed to encourage systematic saving without being restricted by minimum balance requirements. For instance, IndusInd Bank’s Indus Delite is a zero-balance savings account designed to offer convenience with lifestyle benefits and rewards.
