The HDFC Bank has recently launched two new savings accounts. These two accounts come with unique variants for senior citizens and women, ‘Max for Seniors’ and ‘Max for Her’, under the bank's Savings Max account portfolio.
These HDFC accounts are designed to cater to the specific banking requirements of senior citizens and women by focusing on core aspects such as financial security, financial management, lifestyle-related benefits and enhanced banking convenience.

On the other hand, women currently hold 39.2% of bank accounts and contribute 39.7% of total deposits, highlighting their increasing participation in the country's banking ecosystem.
