This was the last full-fledged bank with a high interest rate for parking <10L liquid money.
With this change, no benefit if you keep less that 1 Lac. Just close your account. For other slabs they have not yet changed.

Still better than most of the banks, think about the DCB which is giving 1.75% upto 1 Lakh whereas RBL is giving 3.75% upto 1 Lakh.

SO another bank that switched to below 4% Savings account interest rate.
Who's next?
Post Office Saving Bank gives 4% interest on entire amount.
 
Yes, it is pointless to have an account with this bank now. Unfortunately, I have multiple FDs maturing in December which is when I intend to close this account.
 
RBL has been working positively for the last 1 year and I think this is good for the lender.

IndusInd bank even after share price fall has posted good metrics and has retained (even increased the interest for 10-25L) the interest rates. It's one of the only big bang with strong interest rates.
 
Branch people can't touch your money if you stop speaking to them
Nope it's not about touching the money, that's true for all banks, it's that they have no control on the all the processes. I have HNI accounts from both IDFC (Wealth) and IndusInd (Pioneer) and with Indusind there is always a manual way to find exceptions to get your work done. With IDFC, "sir the system won't let us do it". IDFC was also good when they had good interest in 1-5L segement but they nuked that too.

Then there is the issue of account freeze. IDFC if you ask me is good for day-to-day banking (0-5L) but not a contender for 'dump all your money' bank.

How do you maintain IDFC Wealth with keeping funds?
They won't charge you for Debit card?
 
Wealth and Select are 2 different variants.
For Select Account you need to maintain 3L
For Wealth variant you need to maintain 10L
Yup it's select but eitherway doesn't matter. The point still stands. Even you if you have wealth there is not much you get with IDFC. With Indus and Yesbank I have both their mid tier accounts and Pioneer and Yes First. I got IDFC select, Indus Exclusive and Yes Prosperity Prime around the same time and in time given their service got 2nd accounts with IndusInd and YesBank. IDFC stayed at select for a reason.

However, If they kept their 5L and 10L interests a bit better, I could see going their way but over time they diluted their interest and it didn't make sense for me.
