Mumbai, 4th February 2019: In a move aimed at enhancing banking experience for existing customers as well as tapping new customers, Fino Payments Bank (FPB) today announced the launch of sweep account facility in association with Suryoday Small Finance Bank (SSFB).

While this facility ensures RBI guidelines on Rs 1 lakh deposit limit for payments banks is adhered to, it also gives customers the safety of a bank account to park excess funds, which can be utilised whenever they need.

CASA plus or the sweep account, is therefore an important offering as customers stand to benefit. The introduction of this facility is in line with our vision of being the one stop banking point for our customers and we are pleased to have Suryoday Small Finance Bank as our sweep account partner.”
“Going forward, we will explore opportunities to tap MSME customers and other segments that can benefit from Fino’s sweep account facility,” he added.
R Baskar Babu, CEO & MD, Suryoday Small Finance Bank said “Our common focus on providing the best customer experience and solutions has resulted in this partnership. Through this association, we aim to enable hassle-free and seamless services to all customers of Fino Payments Bank who will automatically become Suryoday Bank customers too. This to us is just the beginning of a relationship and we hope to offer more meaningful products to our new customers, in the near future.”
To enable the sweep account facility in their Fino bank account, customers can use both physical and digital channels of Fino Payments Bank.
