SBI Savings Plus Account Review
The account's USP is that it offers higher interest rate through sweep-in fixed deposit, which it calls MODs. However, the interest offered on the the sweep-in fixed deposits is low when compared to FDs offered by NBFC of similar tenure and which are of similar investment grade.
