Sweep-In Fixed Deposits and Cash Optimization Apps Enhance Idle Cash Returns
Sweep-in fixed deposits (FDs) link savings or current accounts to FDs, automatically transferring surplus funds above a set threshold to earn higher interest while maintaining liquidity. Unlike regular FDs, they allow partial withdrawals without breaking the entire deposit. Separately, cash optimization apps move idle cash into liquid funds or FDs to offer better returns than savings accounts, often with added perks like discounts, though they may involve hidden costs and taxes. Both options aim to optimize idle cash earnings without sacrificing accessibility.
