DBS Digibank & Kotak 811 both offer Zero balance accounts & I have both of them…DBS Digibank even provides a Visa Paywave Debit card for free for first year…In Kotak 811 also, you can opt for a physical debt card after you do a Full KYC

Also both these banks offer from home account opening with Aadhar Biometric Verification & with high saving account interest rates…


DBS Digibank Savings Account Interest rates (coping from their site) :
______________________________________________
Balance up to Rs. 1 lakh will get 6% interest rates No interest rates applicable
Any balances over and above Rs. 1 lakh and up to Rs. 2 lakhs will get 7% on the incremental amount
Any balances over and above Rs. 2 lakhs and up to Rs. 5 lakhs will get 5% on the incremental amount
Any balances over and above Rs. 5 lakhs will get 4% on the incremental amount…
___________________________

Kotak 811 Interest rates :
__________________________
Balance below 1 lac you will get 5% & if you keep 1 lac & more, you will get 6%…

I even offered a League Platinum Credit Card from Kotak Mahindra Bank when I was not even maintaining any balance at all in my 811 account…After they gave me a CC with 90k limit, I converted my account to 811 Full KYC Zero Balance account (from home ofcourse) & started using them more often…

Both are zero balance accounts with high interest rates & free from home account opening & Biometric verification…Don’t pay anyone any money for these two accounts…

You can just download DBS Digibank or Kotak 811 App from Playstore & get started…Both banking apps support free netbanking, fully fledged mobile apps with FingerPrint Login support & full customer care…. smile

TIP : Keep small amount of many in your main banks (SBI, ICICI,HDFC or AXIS etc which gives only 3.5% interest on savings accounts) & put your savings on DBS Digibank or Kotak 811 for earning nearly double interests on your spare money because they give 5-7% interest depending on how much you are keeping with them…

P.S. DBS is the Asia’s safest bank & also the biggest bank of Singapore…Sachin Tendulkar is the brand ambassador of DBS India…Thought about letting this know for people who have never heard about DBS before…
