The account is available for both domestic and NRI customers, reflecting South Indian Bank’s commitment to serving women across segments and geographies.

With this new offering, account holders can enjoy higher returns on their savings through an Auto Sweep facility on balances above ₹1 lakh, along with unlimited ATM withdrawals and complimentary lounge access with the premium HER Debit Card. The account extends ₹1 Crore Air Accident Insurance and ₹1 Lakh Personal Accident Cover for death, made available absolutely free to account holders, along with a Cancer Care Insurance Cover of up to ₹25 lakhs available at a special discount on premium.

Further enhancing the experience, women customers can avail a 50% waiver on locker rent, exclusive offers on shopping, lifestyle, health, and wellness, as well as milestone rewards that celebrate their financial achievements. The product also extends financial benefits to families with three free add-on accounts and provides 50% processing fee waivers on housing, vehicle, and personal loans.

Adding to its list of empowering features, the SIB HER Account offers special premium discounts on term insurance for life cover of ₹2 crore and above, exclusively for women. Customers also benefit from free banking transactions, with no charges on NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, demand drafts, cheque books, and more.
