Best savings account for investment

[vijaycard]

Need suggestions for best savings account (preferably;zero bal or Low MAB)for investment related activities like integration with zerodha kite, Mutual funds SIP etc...
I have BOB, central bank of india, both are very difficult to put SIP mutual fund.. repeated failed SIP happening..

IDfc vs Kotak 811 is ok?

IDFC is best. Smooth tech, high interest if u park large amount, IPO mandates work flawlessly. Their lowest variant is 10k MAB but everythimg else is free in it.

zero bal or Low MAB

Check out this thread Premium Bank accounts to collect (usually with 0mab).

Hope this helps. 🙂

They wont do that atleast for next 5-10yrs I feel. Like how HDFC has not raised it even after 2 decades. They had zero mab account only for their empanelled college students and some lucky people who were offered zero mab account if they already had IDFC CC. Otherwise the 10k account is their regular account. Cant say much about kotak 811. Never had any relationship with kotak bank. But once u start using IDFC app and account, all other bank accounts will start looking pale in comparisom to them. IDFC is like a fintech with banking license. Best tech and solid customer support if ever u need one. If u plan to open their 10k account dont go to their branch. They will force u to open only 25k account. Open it online.

for investment related activities like integration with zerodha kite,

My Personal Experience

Have an Imperia Account in HDFC which is linked to Zerodha Kite. Never faced any issues at all...! Always works smoothly in all my particular use cases - add funds, withdraw funds, IPO bids, buy shares, sell shares, etc.

As regards banking experience from HDFC, in my experience since June 2018, I have not faced any issues at all - no promo calls, no unsolicited messages, no mis-selling products, etc (neither from HDFC nor from any other bank). First RM was the BM and was good and very helpful in my case. New RM is also the BM and he too is good and helpful. Their banking app is also good with no prolonged noticeable glitches in my experience.
So, I have no complaints but only gratitude for the excellent services they have provided in the last more than 7 years till date.

Ergo, based on my personal experience, I do recommend HDFC bank for your desired requirements.

Hope this helps. 🙂
