Current Account

A current account is a type of deposit account that caters to professionals and businessmen alike. Dealing largely with liquid deposits, this product allows for withdrawal of funds and cheques being written against the balance and does not limit the number of transactions in a day. At JSCCL Bank, we offer a number of customised current account options that can ideally serve the needs of different businesses.

Current bank accounts are very popular among companies, firms, public enterprises, businessmen who generally have higher number of regular transactions with the bank. The current account includes deposits, withdrawals, and contra transactions. Such accounts are also called the Demand Deposit Account.

A Current account can be opened in most of the commercial banks. A current account being a zero-account, is generally associated with huge transactions on a regular basis. Because of the fluidity that these accounts offer, they don’t earn any interest. These also usually do not carry a limit on the number of transactions which can be made.
