DCB Bank launches DCB Health Plus Fixed Deposit with free

 DCB Bank launches DCB Health Plus Fixed Deposit with free medical services, healthcare benefits

·   Depositors can earn 6.90% interest per annum on 700 days fixed deposit

 ·   No medical tests or hospitalisation required to avail of health benefits

DCB Bank, a new-generation private sector bank, has announced a unique multi-benefit fixed deposit product – DCB Health Plus FD that offers attractive returns 6.90% interest per annum on a 700-day fixed deposit along with free medical services and healthcare benefits.

 The ‘Health Plus’ services offered in a graded scale and matched with the Fixed Deposit amount, are provided by ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company.

Health Plus benefits include:

Teleconsultation and face-to-face appointments with empaneled general physicians, specialists and emergency services.

Moreover, the customer can avail special pricing for prescribed pharmacy expenses. During challenging times such as the pandemic, contactless (over the phone or video) teleconsultation proves to be a boon as many individuals are skeptical to visit out-patient department (OPD) at hospitals due to health and safety concerns.

Now-a-days, not many policies extend a wide range of health benefits for senior citizens. ‘Health Plus’ services prove to be a smart choice. No medical tests or  hospitalisation are required to avail of the benefits, which are available for resident Indians between the ages of 18 and 70 years (or not yet completed 71 years).

DCB Health Plus Fixed Deposit customer can utlise these services by simply downloading the ICICI Lombard ILTakeCare app from Apple Store or Google Playstore. These benefits are available for a year and, if left unused, it does not carry forward to the next year. However, similar benefits would still be available to deposit holders in the following year as well, until the duration of DCB Health Plus FD.

 

DCB Bank Head of Retail and SME Banking, Mr. Praveen Kutty said, "DCB Fixed Deposits never go out of style! Customers have a need and DCB Bank creates Fixed Deposits that provide real value.  Teleconsultation and online interaction have surged during the lockdown. DCB Bank offers new-age solutions with the traditional FD. The new DCB Health Plus FD is smart and practical that will help deposit holders grow their wealth and preserve their health at the same time. Health Plus FD is testimony to DCB Bank's strategy to launch innovative products that adapt to changing times and fulfil a customer's need."

Demand for Credit Cards Shows

Demand for Credit Cards Shows Full Recovery

 

·         October 2020 credit card inquiry volumes at 106% of October 2019 levels

·         Inquiry volumes in non-metro locations grew at 23% YoY

 

Credit card inquiry volumes have recovered fully from the trough seen in April 2020, and in October 2020 were at 106% of October 2019 levels, suggesting that consumer economic activity has materially improved since the easing of COVID-19 lockdown measures.

 Data show that credit card popularity in traditionally cash driven, non-metro locations has risen with more consumers seeking this product. October 2020 inquiry volumes in non-metro locations increased by 23% YoY compared to a decline of -10% YoY for metro locations.

 Credit card origination volumes have also started picking up gradually as demand has resumed. Credit card origination volumes for July 2020 were at 37% of July 2019 levels. This decline is not as sharp as the one seen in the lockdown period of April 2020, where origination volumes slipped to 9% of April 2019 levels.

“It is encouraging to see credit card inquiry levels making a full recovery following an easing of lockdown measures. The acceleration and increased adoption of digital forms of payments means that the ongoing festive season looks promising for the cards business,” said Abhay Kelkar, vice president of research and consulting for TransUnion CIBIL.

Social distancing rules and lockdowns have forced consumers to rethink how they spend, with digital payments becoming an increasingly attractive, or even necessary, option in order to transact and make purchases in a virtual environment. In this respect, credit cards provide a significant functional advantage over cash. This shift in consumer mindset is reflected in the growth observed in outstanding balances. Credit card outstanding balances increased by 32% YoY in July 2020. This compares to a 33% YoY increase in balances at the same time last year.
