SBI is offering 40-50 basis points more than the interest offered on foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposits under SBI Supreme - one of the products launched by the bank. |
The bank has also rolled out a customised structured offering including a targeted return option under the Relax & Gain option. |
The other product Dollar Premium is a dollar FCNR account with a forward cover for the rupee and will be offered at branches locally. |
The product is for depositors who agree to receive their dollar FCNR in rupees. |
SBI offers 4.01 to 4.37 per cent on FCNR deposits depending on the maturity period. However, details about the rate of return on its fourth product called SBI Select, a multi-currency option deposits, were not revealed. |
SBI on its Website said initial yields are more attractive than the average market return on its Relax & Gain option, which will be offered at select foreign branches. |
The scheme is specially created to meet the depositors' financial needs that cannot be met from regular deposit products available in the market. |
Relax & Gain offers enhanced yields and will carry a call option or a targeted return. The bank, however, did not explain what it meant by targeted return. |
