Auto Sweep Facility In Axis Bank
You start by having a savings account with Axis Bank. A savings account typically offers lower interest rates compared to fixed deposits. You also have a linked fixed deposit account with Axis Bank. Fixed deposits generally offer higher interest rates than savings accounts.
You set a threshold limit for your savings account. This threshold represents the minimum balance you want to maintain in your savings account. If your savings account balance exceeds the threshold limit, the surplus funds are automatically transferred to your linked fixed deposit account.
This helps you earn higher interest on the excess amount. If you need to withdraw money from your savings account and the balance falls below the threshold, the required amount is automatically swept back from your fixed deposit to your savings account to meet your liquidity needs.
You continue to earn interest on your fixed deposit as per the terms and conditions of the FD, and you also earn interest on the remaining balance in your savings account. The process is automatic and does not require any manual intervention once you set it up. It ensures that your money is working to earn you the best possible interest.
