Arun, an interior designer by profession had just got a sizeable pending payment from one of his clients. This meant that he could finally make the down payment on the new flat he was planning to buy. But he was also worried that he would end
up spending the money before the deadline to make the down payment. He needed to invest the money somewhere safe and quickly.
He walked into a café and ordered a coffee. He decided to look for some options to invest in and opened his laptop to do some research. It was then that he chanced upon Axis Bank’s Digital FD. But since he didn’t have an Axis Bank Savings Account he was hesitant to proceed. However, when he read through the details, he discovered that he didn’t need one to invest in the Digital FD. It was tailor-made for
him!
All he had to do was fill in his details, and provide his Aadhar, PAN and mobile number for opening the FD.
The entire process was completed in seven minutes, and his money was now safe in an Axis Bank Digital FD. It was done before his coffee arrived.
Delighted with the quick resolution of his problem, Arun resolved to invest in FDs regularly. By selecting the FD tenure to match the timeframe of his various financial goals, he could easily plan for his future needs.
