Equitas To Fincare, Small Finance Banks Offering Over 8% Interests on FDs

A fixed deposit is also referred to as a time deposit or term deposit, where people can invest their money. This investment option allows depositors to invest their money for a fixed period. It also allows them to earn fixed interest on it at regular intervals during the chosen tenure or at maturity. It is considered a safer investment option, but not much return is expected on it as the interest rates are usually fixed. There are some banks, however, that are offering 8 per cent interest on the FDs. So, let’s take a look at these banks that are offering an interest rate of 8 per cent or more on FDs:
