Corporate clients can seamlessly place their funds on a rupee deposit account with Sber online through the bank’s digital platform, without having to visit the office physically. Deposit tenors start from 7 days. The interest rates are some of the highest on the market.
Clients with an active Sber account can open the deposit the same day if the funds already sit in their current account. The transaction will be instant if made via online banking. The deposit may also operate as collateral for lending products at Sber, including loans and letters of credit. That way, the money is still able to earn a yield, while clients can procure financing from Sber to expand their operations.
To place a deposit, you need a valid Sber account. Existing clients are required to submit a standard application, either in person or online. Detailed terms and conditions are available on the bank’s website. Non-clients are first required to pass the onboarding procedure.
