How to Invest in Deposits?

You can open a DBS NRI Deposit Account by following a straightforward process. To begin with, check the features of all the NRI Deposit options offered by DBS and pick the one you prefer. For example, if you want to repatriate funds and interest back to Dubai, an NRE FD would be a good choice for you, whereas an NRO FD, which does not permit repatriation, is the better choice to manage your Indian investments. You can then select the deposit amount and create your NRI Deposit account. You may also contact a digibank relationship manager for assistance on how to invest in deposits.
