ICICI Bank Hikes Fixed Deposit Interest Rates On Select Maturities
ICICI Bank on Wednesday announced higher interest rates for fixed deposits (FD) of up to Rs 1 crore on select maturities. The new interest rates, applicable to retail term deposits, will take effect from November 15, 2018, the private sector banking major said in a statement. After this revision, the bank will pay interest at the rate of 7.5 per cent on fixed deposits of above two years up to three years, ICICI Bank further said. Wednesday's increase will raise interest rates applicable to domestic, NRO (non-resident ordinary) and NRE (non-resident external) term deposits of up to Rs 1 crore by 25 basis points, or 0.25 per cent.Â
"With the prevailing volatility in financial market, we see renewed interest by customers to invest in fixed deposits which offer a combination of attractive interest rates, liquidity and assured returns. The 2-3 years tenor offers customers an opportunity to invest at a higher interest rate of 7.50 per cent p.a. (8.00 per cent p.a. for senior citizens)," said Pranav Mishra, senior general manager and head-retail liabilities group, ICICI Bank.
