DCB Bank Vs IDBI Bank Vs City Union Bank: Who Offers High FD Interest Rates?

Since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) began increasing the repo rate last year in May, the back-to-back increases in the repo rate encourages banks to hike the interest rates on Fixed Deposits (FDs). Several banks have recently increased their interest rates on both loans and deposits multiple times. FDs are now more appealing because the banks have increased their FD interest rates.

RBI increased the repo rate by 25 bps to 6.50 percent in February. With this, the repo rate has increased by a total of 250 basis points six times since May 2022. The RBI MPC will get together once more on April 6, 2023, to discuss raising interest rates.

Here is a comparison of the three lenders namely DCB Bank, IDBI Bank, & City Union Bank FD interest rates for deposits under Rs 2 crore:
