What is the auto-sweep facility?
The auto-sweep facility is a mixture of savings accounts and FD accounts. It has the advantage of both facilities. With an auto-sweep account, your savings account is linked to a fixed deposit account and a monetary limit is defined. Whenever the amount in the savings account crosses that defined limit, the excess money is transferred automatically into the fixed deposit. This way, your savings account balance can earn a higher rate of interest.
