ING Vysya Bank launched ‘ING Active Deposits’, the new deposit is aimed at customers who have surplus funds, on which they would like to earn higher returns but need the security of instant liquidity.
ING Active Deposit allows customers to decide the tenor, thus allowing them to earn better returns and enjoy the power of liquidity, with the instant withdrawal feature. The instant withdrawal feature allows a customer to withdraw the deposit either at the ATM or through a cheque. If the customer needs only a portion of the funds, ING Active Deposit is broken only for the amount withdrawn, while balance of the term deposit continues at the original rate.
To coincide with this launch, ING Vysya Bank increased Term Deposit rates across all tenors, effective from today, August 25th, 2010. Now customers can earn up to 8.00% on deposits, enclosed is the revised rates, across all tenors.
The five year Tax Advantage Deposits, which allows the customer to claim income tax exemption under Sec 80c has been increased to 8%, making it an attractive long term investment option.
