Your savings can do more than sit in a regular savings account. A Fixed Deposit account allows you to invest a lump sum for a chosen period and earn interest at a rate fixed at the time of booking. Yet, many people delay opening an FD because comparing institutions, visiting branches and completing paperwork can take time.
The JioFinance app brings these steps together in one place. Users can explore FD options from participating financial institutions, compare their rates and tenures and complete the booking process online.
What Is a Fixed Deposit Account?
A Fixed Deposit account allows you to deposit a specific amount with a bank or financial institution for a fixed tenure. The institution pays interest according to the rate applicable when the FD is booked.
FDs generally offer two payout options:
The suitable option depends on when you need the money and whether you require regular interest payouts.
Why Book an FD Through the JioFinance App?
Comparing FD options across different institutions can be time-consuming when each one has a separate website or application. JioFinance brings multiple options together, making it easier to review them before investing.
Users can compare interest rates, tenures, payout options and other applicable terms from participating banks and NBFCs. This helps you select an FD based on your investment amount and preferred tenure rather than choosing an option without comparing alternatives.
FD tenures can vary considerably between financial institutions. The options available through JioFinance can start from short periods such as 7 days and extend to several years, depending on the institution.
This allows you to choose a tenure based on when you expect to need the funds.
Before booking an FD, it is useful to know how much the investment may be worth at maturity. Comparing the applicable interest rate, tenure and maturity amount can help you understand the expected return before committing your funds.

Check the FD Terms Before Booking
Before confirming a Fixed Deposit account, review the applicable interest rate, tenure, minimum deposit amount, payout frequency and maturity value. It is also important to check the conditions for premature withdrawal, as closing an FD before maturity may affect the interest earned. Reviewing these details on the JioFinance app helps ensure that the selected deposit matches your investment period and financial requirements.
Opening a Fixed Deposit account does not have to involve multiple branch visits or separate applications for different financial institutions. The JioFinance app brings participating FD options together, allowing users to compare rates, tenures, payout options and maturity details before making a decision.
By completing the required verification and payment steps online, eligible users can book an FD digitally and keep track of their deposit details through the same platform.
