Announcement Corporate

Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Ltd (BSLAMC), one of the leading asset management companies in India, has launched an array of customer centric facilities to enhance the customer experience and convenience. These are -

· Subscription through Debit card

· Every day Systematic Transfer Plan (STP)

· Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) with Step Up option

BSLAMC has launched the Debit Card Payment on its website through a secure platform such that existing investors would be able to use their Debit Card (VISA) while making additional subscriptions through their secured login section on the AMC website. This service has been introduced to enhance customer convenience as not many investors have access to internet banking for their bank a/c’s. Currently, subscriptions can be made through banks which are available on the VISA platform, offering features in line with the RBI guideline on 3D security.

 

A. Balasubramanian, CEO, BSLAMC, said, “These initiatives are designed to empower customers to manage their investments effectively and with greater convenience. Customer satisfaction is an important aspect in our business and we have always worked towards providing offerings to our customers with an aim to enhance the customer experience.”

The details of the Daily STP feature and the Step Up SIP feature are as mentioned below –
