I opened the fixed deposit in KVB which is located in my native, interest rate is same like other banks. Customer service is not userfriendly, when I forgot the password to log in my account, I called to the customer care but they didn't give any solution they asked me to visit home branch. But I was living in different location but they did not understand that, they dont have any other option to reset my password. Hence I had withdraw Rs. 2 lakhs from FD account, remaining Rs. 1 lakh was left there.

Primarily , I was holding a savings account with KVB, based on which I had opened a fixed deposit. The interest rate offered by them was very reasonable which was 8.5% and it may extend to 9%. I had visited the branch to open this FD and I carried by ID proof and address proof along with me for the same purpose. I did not get any sort of correspondence regarding this FD but the amount would be credited to my account every month automatically.
I prefer investing in KARUR VYSYA BANK as the interest rate is on the higher side. The rate of interest offered was around 11.75% as interest rate and the customer service was good. I had deposited for a period of three years of time and I dint face any issues with them. They used to work all the days.

I had taken a Fixed deposit scheme with Karur Vysya Bank for a year. The benefit with their scheme is that I can break the deposit at any time and its calculated on the prevailing rate and no deductions are imposed. They also pay the TDS. I had paid around Rs.1.5Lakh for an interest rate of 8.5% which was getting transferred to my savings account.

I got the fixed deposit account with the Karur Vysya Bank. They are providing good rate of interest to the customers. The services are not much fine with them like they are not moving in the customer friendly manner. Responsiveness is also not so good. Minimum lockin period ranges from seven days to seven years of time.
I put the fixed deposit for seven years. Interest rate was good I guess at Karuru Vysya bank for the fixed deposit. At the time of maturity they give almost double and very glad on that. Service is not hat satisfactory but they done the best. They have to improve on service and they have to process the loan quickly.

I have the fixed deposit with the Karur Vysya Bank and I have it from the last one year of time. The rate of interest is around 8.5% and the services are very good because they are giving the best customer service and the response. From the point of view with the customers they are very good.
I had the fixed deposit account with the Karur Vysya Bank for the rate of interest as 9.5% for the one year of time which is the best on that time. There is no minimum lock in period with them like whenever I want I can withdraw the money but they will debit 1% returns from the interest.
I do have the fixed deposit account with the Karur Vysya bank for the rate of interest which made me happy. Minimum lock in period is optional which is up to us, I used to have around couple of years. Charges are nothing much and I can say that they are transparent to the customers.

Like the services of Karur Vysya bank as the employees are reverting immediately and customer service is awesome so I got this fixed deposit. Rate of interest is competitive for FD in comparison to other banks. Actually Karur Vysya is not prolonging any kind of process as they are very fast. Payment option can be chosen by customer as we can chose quarterly, half yearly and yearly mode.
Good bank, nice response, Caring. Offering good interest rate. Most secured. Had joint a/c more than 3 years. No issues so far. Employees are more caring. They will remind us regularly if any form is not submit ex: 15G and happy to associate with this bank.
KVB offers better interests in private sector banks. But they also have higher service charges when compared to banks or institutes in private sector. Karur Vaisya Bank doesn't have enough branches available for convinience/easy availability as & when needed.

I deposited one lakh in Karur Vysya bank for fixed deposit in the name of my kid and on quarterly basis the interest accumulates to my account. Employees of the bank are very good. Interest rate is between 8.6%-8.75%, I guess, government banks will provide higher rate than this. I preferred Karur Vysya bank for FD because the process was smooth when compared to government banks. Pre-matured charges are high where Karur Vysya is cutting down the charges.

If we have Fixed deposit, we can pull cash out in emergency cases. In comparison to other banks, Karur Vysya bank is giving high rate in respect to FD but when I availed the rate was 8.25% but now it increased. Opened FD for tenure of 2 years so I am getting simple interest. Karur Vysya is wonderful in customer service. Branch is very near by my place so it is very convenient to visit branch for any assistance.
I would recommend Karur Vysya bank strongly to my friends as they are not like normal banks and they are somewhat different. They are giving offers like nationalized banks and they wonâ??t charge anything extra. For senior citizen they are offering rate of interest above 10% on fixed deposit but I would say it as moderate rate. I would they are doing good but they can enhance more than what they are giving now. Overall, my experience is really good.
