Traditionally, opening an FD required transferring funds to an Axis Bank savings account first

Axis Bank makes FD investment easier: Check how to invest in Axis Bank fixed deposits from any other bank This new feature allows customers to invest directly from any bank, streamlining the process and saving both time and effort

Axis Bank, the country’s third-largest private-sector lender, has launched a new feature that enables customers to open fixed deposits (FDs) via its mobile app, utilising funds from their non-Axis Bank accounts through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and net banking. Traditionally, opening an FD required transferring funds to an Axis Bank savings account first. This new feature allows customers to invest directly from any bank, streamlining the process and saving both time and effort.

How it works
This feature removes the requirement to pre-fund an Axis Bank savings account prior to opening an FD. Existing customers of Axis Bank with valid KYC can now initiate FD bookings even if their primary funds are maintained in another bank. The bank has made the process of FD opening fully digital:
Funds are directly transferred from an external bank account to Axis Bank via UPI or Net Banking.
Once the payment is successfully completed, the bank processes the FD booking; it is automatically created without additional steps; there is no need for payee addition and separate FD opening steps.
