In this advanced world, due to information bombardment from all sides, sometimes we miss some important things. Have you heard of Neo-bank? This is a term that you must be well aware of by now if you want to make big savings in a secured and risk-free way.
Neo-banks are fintech companies that provide all cutting–edge banking services online, turning down the need for any physical branches. These banks provide good interest rates on savings etc. owing to their less/no expenditure on physical infrastructure. This is a relatively new concept in the world of banking but it meets all the demands of tech-savvy millennials. Loads of paperwork are now a thing of the past.

The account maintenance charge of Niyox is Rs. 0. Niyox provides an interest rate of 3.5% p.a. for a savings account balance of up to Rs. 1 lakh. For more than 1 lakh rupee, it provides double interest rate i.e., 7%. As is clear, savings provide constant growth.

There is an upcoming feature on their App by the name ‘Invest the Change’. This feature is good for those who are bad at saving money for investment purposes. This feature is based on the idea of micro-investing. The idea behind this is that they round off your debit card transactions to the next hundred rupees and the difference amount contributes to the corpus. When it reaches a mark of Rs. 500, once can invest it in any mutual fund.

Together with it, it provides all the safety features like instant locking/unlocking of the card, changing/setting card PIN, permanently blocking of the card, etc. There is one additional cool feature that I found interesting.
