Personal loans are also available at 10.10% p.a., a discount of up to 80 basis points, with nil processing fee and higher loan limits up to Rs 20 lakh.

The bank has also introduced a fixed rate of interest option in personal and car loans, allowing borrowers to choose between fixed and floating rates of interest. This option will provide stability and certainty to the customers in terms of their monthly repayments.

In addition to the loan offers, the bank has also launched four new savings accounts with a host of benefits and concessions. These are:

• Bob LITE Savings Account: A lifetime no minimum balance account with free debit card, cheque book, and unlimited ATM transactions.
