– Invest, sell and track mutual funds and SIPs on the go
– Customers can make informed investment decisions with mutual fund performance data and research insights provided by Morningstar, one of the world’s leading independent investment research providers.
Announcing the new mutual fund functionality on digibank, Shantanu Sengupta, Managing Director & Head – Consumer Banking, DBS Bank India said: “With digibank, our intention has always been to be digitally embedded in our customers’ evolving financial lifecycle and offering them a differentiated customer experience. With fast growing awareness of mutual funds and adoption of digital banking, customers are increasingly seeking to make their own investments online in a simple manner without having to depend on traditional channels. Thus, this offering makes paperless onboarding, tracking and redemption in mutual funds a reality within minutes for our digibank customers.”
