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 KBL GENIUS Signature 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.
Opening a savings account tailored for young students is a crucial step towards financial literacy and independence. Karnataka Bank offers the KBL GENIUS Signature Account, a zero balance savings account for students, designed to meet their unique financial needs.

Interest rates represent the percentage at which your money grows when deposited or invested. In the context of general savings accounts, choosing the right bank with a favorable interest rate is essential. Karnataka Bank offers a competitive 4.5% interest rate per annum on the KBL Tarun Students Savings Account. This means that your savings will increase by 4.5% annually, helping your money work for you. Opting for a savings account with a high interest rate like this can significantly guarantee your financial security for your future.
