Unity Small Finance Bank has hiked its fixed deposit (FD) rates across several tenures. The revised rates came into effect from today, 21 November. The bank has raised the rate on term deposits for the second time this month. Various banks have been hiking their interest rates on fixed deposits since May after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) began increasing the repo rate. The last increase in repo rate by the RBI was seen in September. Some of the banks that have hiked their FD rates are Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, State Bank of India (SBI), and IDFC First Bank.

Retail investors will receive 8.5 percent interest for the same period. Unity Small Finance Bank also hiked its interest rates on callable and non-callable bulk deposits.

In case of savings accounts, the bank gives an interest rate of 7 percent for deposits greater than Rs 1 lakh.
