Banks and lenders, rate by rate

Every provider we hold a rate for — 24 in total — with the home loan, personal loan and fixed deposit rates each one publishes. Grouped by what kind of lender it is, because that changes how the number should be read.

Public sector banks

Public sector bank. Floating retail loans are priced off an external benchmark, so RBI rate cuts pass through within a reset cycle.

Private sector banks

Private sector bank. Floating retail loans are priced off an external benchmark, so RBI rate cuts pass through within a reset cycle.

Housing finance companies

Housing finance company. Not required to price off an external benchmark — it lends against an internal reference rate, so rate cuts historically arrive more slowly than increases.

Non-banking financial companies

Non-banking financial company. Prices off an internal reference rate rather than an external benchmark, and is not a bank — deposits with it are not DICGC-insured.

Small finance banks

Small finance bank. Deposit rates are typically the highest available, but DICGC insurance covers ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank — size the deposit accordingly.

Card issuers

Card issuer. We hold its card catalogue but no lending or deposit rates, so this microsite covers cards only.
