ESAF Small Finance Bank offers an interest rate of 8.25% for FDs maturing between two years and less than three years.
AU Small Finance Bank

Owing to their business model, small finance banks cannot be kept on par with other scheduled commercial banks. Hence FDs from small finance banks are also not comparable in terms of risk profile to full-service banks. However, when it comes to insurance, do keep in mind that deposits in small finance banks are also insured by the Deposit Insurance Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) to the tune of Rs 5 lakh. Most of the experts advise layman retail investors to keep their exposure limited in FDs of small finance banks so that it is well within DICGC cover of Rs 5 lakh including principal and interest.
