Can I link my salary account to my FYERS trading account?
Yes, you can link your salary account to your FYERS Trading and Demat account without any issues. FYERS accepts all types of savings bank accounts, including zero balance salary accounts, either during account opening or later as a secondary bank.
What is a salary account?
A salary account is a specific type of savings account used by employers to credit employee salaries. It functions just like a regular savings account, offering features like:
- Online banking and fund transfers
- ATM withdrawals
- No or low minimum balance requirements (in most cases)
Why is it safe to link a salary account?
Linking your salary account is completely safe and supported by FYERS:
- FYERS treats salary and regular savings accounts the same.
- You can link a salary account as your primary bank account when opening your FYERS account.
- You can also add it later as a secondary bank account through Funds section an any of our platforms.
- Withdrawals from your FYERS account will be processed to the bank account you select—salary or savings—as long as it's linked and verified.
