BankBazaar.com, India’s leading financial marketplace, today announced the expansion of its paperless investment portfolio with the launch of its paperless and presence-less Fixed Deposits (FD) products on its platform.
BankBazaar’s platform leverages the OTP-based eKYC process for facilitating instant, paperless, and presence-less purchase of FDs, which will enable investors to evaluate, select and purchase FDs from Financial Institutions within minutes. The launch of the paperless FD follows the launch of paperless mutual funds earlier this year as well as a slew of paperless credit products including personal loans and credit cards.
FDs are now available completely online and paperless. Details such as the credit rating of the fixed deposit and the interest rates for various tenors are displayed for every product. Investors can select the preferred product and then choose the amount and tenor of investment. The platform then completes the authentication process.
This can be either Aadhaar-based through the OTP eKYC process or by uploading relevant documents such as the PAN card, cancelled cheque, etc. Once the authentication is complete, the payment is processed and the FD is created. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish and is very convenient.
The launch of FDs follows the launch of Mutual Funds on the BankBazaar platform. Elaborating on expanding into fixed deposits, Navin Chandani, Chief Business Development Officer, BankBazaar said, “Fixed deposits are probably the most loved savings product in India. For BankBazaar, as a leading financial marketplace that aims to cater to all the financial needs of the customer,
FDs were the next logical offering in the savings and investment category. In line with our mission of helping people access the right financial products, we have simplified what used to be a manual process involving a fair amount of paperwork, and now it is online for a faster, paperless, friction-less experience.”
Thanks to the minimal documentation and instant processes for one of the most highly-favoured savings instrument, BankBazaar and the partner financial institutions are expecting a fair amount of traction. Speaking about the tie-up, Umesh Revankar, MD Shriram Transport Finance Co. Ltd, Indias largest asset financing NBFC said: “The future of banking is paperless, and BankBazaar has been a first mover in building technology seamlessly to provide customers with a frictionless online purchase experience.

We are really happy and keen to see the transformation from physical to paperless Fixed Deposit on BankBazaar, which is extremely seamless, convenient, fast and cost effective.”
