AU Small Finance Bank Raises NRI Deposit Rates Amid Industry Rate Increases
AU Small Finance Bank has increased its non-resident deposit rates by up to 60 basis points, raising FCNR-B deposits to 7.4% and NRE deposits to 7.6% for specific tenures. This move aligns with a trend among small and mid-sized Indian banks that are raising FCNR-B rates to attract NRI deposits following interest rate deregulation. Larger banks, in contrast, focus on structured offerings with leverage but maintain lower base rates. AU Bank aims for liability-led asset growth without offering leverage currently.
