Suryoday Small Finance Bank Children’s Savings Accounts
Suryoday Small Finance Bank does not offer a dedicated children’s account and offers minors the option to open a standard savings account as a minor account. We take a look at the two base variants of the bank’s savings account portfolio. All of the bank’s savings accounts can be opened by a minor with parents or a guardian.
