Axis Bank partners with Mastercard to launch NFC Soundbox
The new soundbox will act as an all-in-one solution that will allow the users to accept Bharat QR, UPI, Tap & Pay and Tap + Pin payments.
Private lender Axis Bank on Monday announced the removal of penalty on premature closure of all new retail term deposits booked on or after December 15, 2020 for a tenure of 2 years or more.
With this move, the bank aims to inculcate and encourage retail customers to go for long-term savings without worrying about the sudden need for liquidity, the bank said in a statement.
The new feature will be applicable on all new fixed deposits and recurring deposits. For new deposits booked for a tenure above 2 years, there will be nil premature penalty if the entire deposit is prematurely withdrawn post 15 months of booking.

This new feature is in line with our objective to introduce customer centric benefits by offering flexibility and convenience, while also improving our book quality.”
The new feature also offers no penalty on first withdrawal of up to 25 per cent of term deposit principal value.
