So, you need some cash, but your fixed deposit is like... "fixed" in place? ICICI to the rescue! ** (But seriously, ICICI Bank can help)**
Let's face it, life throws curveballs. Sometimes, you need some extra cash, but your trusty fixed deposit (FD) is chilling out, earning sweet interest and not going anywhere. But hey, that doesn't mean your FD has to become a permanent resident of your bank account!
ICICI Bank offers a nifty feature called Loan Against Fixed Deposit (FD), which basically lets you borrow money against your FD. It's like your FD is saying, "Sure, take some of me, but promise to pay me back with a little extra on top!"
Why take a loan against your FD, you ask? Well, here are a few reasons:
- It's a faster and easier way to get cash compared to applying for a new loan. You already have an established relationship with ICICI, and your FD acts as collateral, so the approval process is usually smoother.
- The interest rates are typically lower than personal loans. This is because your FD is essentially acting as security for the loan, making it less risky for the bank.
- You don't have to break your FD! Unlike some traditional loans, you don't have to withdraw your entire FD. You can just borrow a portion of it, and your FD continues to earn interest. Pretty neat, huh?
