  • A ‘Savings Account’ is also a deposit account, but it is generally used for storing day-to-day funds, making deposits, and paying bills. The difference between a ‘Payroll Account’ and a ‘Savings Account’ is that customers can receive salary through the ‘Payroll Account’ to earn payroll rewards. ‘Payroll Account’ generally offer exclusive rewards to their account holders.
