Minors aged 10 & above will also get an option for a personalised Debit Card. To promote higher growth in savings, the account offers best-in-class 7% interest for savings balances between R .5 Lakhs to Rs 2 Crores. Upon written consent from parents, minors aged 10 & above can also avail of a self-operating account with limited transaction limits.

The account will also help them take their first step towards a new age and technology-oriented banking experience.

The account offers flexibility to choose the mode of savings either as a Savings Account, balance starting as low as Rs 1,000; RD (Recurring Deposit) for Rs 500 monthly; FD (Fixed Deposit) for Rs 10,000. Kids can deposit their own pocket money into the account and watch their savings grow with best-in-class interest rates.

Focussed on the theme of education and literacy, financial or otherwise, ENJOI account holders will also have access to exclusive deals from ed-techs and online learning providers.

These offers and tie-ups have been exclusively sourced by the bank to offer maximum advantages to the account holders. A personalised Debit Card is complimentary for the first year and can be enjoyed free for a lifetime by maintaining the required balances.

Murali Vaidyanathan, Senior President & Country Head, Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited said, "ENJOI as an idea is built to allow growing kids to understand the power of savings and start their financial journey with our Bank. The habits and culture, taught at a young age, stays with us in a long run. By inculcating the habit of saving early, with ENJOI, we are empowering the kids with the power of compounding by starting to save early. ENJOI enables the young Children who are the future of tomorrow to manage finance.
