A savings account is designed for individuals who want to save money and earn interest on their deposits. In contrast, a current account is geared towards businesses and individuals who require frequent and high-volume transactions without interest earnings. Current accounts often come with facilities like overdrafts to accommodate the fluid nature of business transactions.

Your savings account earns interest by applying the annual interest rate to the daily collected balance in your account. The interest is usually compounded quarterly and credited to your account, contributing to the growth of your savings over time.

The MAB for your SB Small Savings Account is calculated by adding the closing balance of each day in a month, then dividing that total by the number of days in the month. This figure represents the average balance you've maintained throughout the month.
