Wondering how to get more interest on your Savings Account funds? Follow along as we explore strategies to enhance your Savings Account return that boost your financial plan.

Effective tips for maximising Savings Account returns

High-interest rate: Select Savings accounts that offer above-average interest rates, especially those with tiered structures where rates increase as your balance grows.
Auto-sweep facility: Link your Savings Account to a Fixed Deposit account. When your balance exceeds a certain threshold, the excess is automatically transferred into a Fixed Deposit, earning a higher interest rate.

Axis Bank's Auto Fixed Deposit feature exemplifies the auto-sweep facility. When your Savings Account balance exceeds ₹25,000, the auto Fixed Deposit kicks in, automatically transferring surplus funds in multiples of ₹5,000 into a Fixed Deposit.

Maintaining a high balance: Many banks offer preferential rates for accounts with substantial balances, turning your savings account into a lucrative investment option.

Recurring deposits: Pair your Savings Account with a recurring deposit (RD) to set aside a fixed amount regularly

Rewards and cashback offers: Engaging in these programs can enhance your overall returns, making every transaction more rewarding.

Axis Bank's Recurring Deposit is designed to enhance your savings through consistent monthly contributions. With a minimum investment starting at just ₹500, it's tailored to be accessible to everyone. The interest rate climbs higher based on the instalment amount and the tenure of the deposit, incentivising you to save more. You can open an RD online, and with the flexibility of tenures ranging from 6 months to 10 years.

The Liberty Savings Account is an excellent example of how customers can benefit from rewards and cashback offers. With this account, customers can enjoy flat 5% cashback on weekend spending across food, entertainment, shopping, and travel, as well as quarterly gift vouchers worth ₹750, among other benefits.
