FAQ'S

A deposit account held at a bank that provides principal security, a modest interest rate and high degree of liquidity, is termed as a normal savings account

Normal Savings account funds are considered one of the most liquid investments apart from cash. Savings accounts are thus ideal for keeping emergency money or money for daily expenses that you might need at a later date.

To choose the best savings account, compare interest rates, minimum balance, service charges, and banking features. Also check benefits like mobile banking, ATM access, and branch network. A good account should match your financial needs and offer easy access to your money anytime.

You can open a normal savings account by visiting a bank branch or applying online if provided by the bank. You need to fill out the application form, submit required documents like citizenship and photos, and deposit the minimum balance to activate your account.

Opening a normal savings account usually takes a few hours to one working day. If all documents are correct, some banks may even activate the account instantly, especially when applying through online or digital account opening services.

Banks may charge fees for account maintenance, ATM card, cheque book, SMS alerts, and transactions. These charges vary by bank. It is important to check all fees in advance to avoid unexpected deductions from your savings account balance.

Yes, you can open a joint savings account with another person, usually a family member like a spouse, parent, or sibling. All account holders must provide valid documents and agree on how the account will be operated.

If your account becomes dormant due to inactivity, you can reactivate it by visiting the bank branch. You should:

  1. Contact your branch in person
  2. Fill and submit KYC form for activation of your dormant account
  3. Also, submit copies of current proof of identity and address for verification with KYC form

The bank will then restore your account to active status.

Withdrawal limits depend on the bank and the type of account. ATM withdrawals usually have daily limits, while branch withdrawals may have fewer restrictions. It is best to check your bank’s policy for exact limits.

To close your account, you have to visit the nearest branch with citizenship to close your savings account if needed.  Clear any remaining balance or dues, return your debit card and cheque book, and complete verification. The bank will process your request and close the account. 

No you cannot open multiple savings accounts with the same bank. However, you can open a remittance savings account along with a normal savings account in same bank. 

 

To open a savings account, you usually need citizenship or valid ID, passport-size photos, and proof of address. Some banks may also ask for PAN card or additional documents depending on their policies and verification process.

Yes, most banks require a minimum balance, which can range from zero to a few thousand rupees. Some banks offer zero-balance accounts, while others provide extra benefits for maintaining a higher balance.

Yes, savings accounts earn interest on your deposited amount. The rate varies by bank and is usually calculated daily and credited periodically. Comparing different banks helps you choose the best saving account with better interest rates.

Yes, keeping money in a bank savings account is safe. Banks in Nepal are regulated and follow strict security measures. Using digital banking safely and keeping your account details private adds extra protection to your funds.
