Federal Bank’s Yuva Mitra Account – Zero-Balance Savings Account for Students

If World Youth Skills Day 2025 hasn’t caught your attention yet, Federal Bank gives you a reason to care. This year, they are empowering students with the Yuva Mitra Account, a zero-balance savings account for the youth. With minimal documentation, no balance requirements, and essential banking tools, this account is ideal for students ready to take control of their finances.

Whether you’re pursuing a degree or a diploma, this account ensures you can access modern banking services without worrying about maintaining a minimum balance.

Features of the Yuvamitra Zero Balance Savings Account

Created specifically for students, the Yuva Mitra Account removes traditional banking barriers by offering basic services without the burden of maintaining a minimum balance. It’s designed to support young people who are either just beginning their financial journey or looking for a convenient way to manage their day-to-day expenses. Whether you’re managing a stipend, scholarship funds, or personal savings, this account ensures you have access to modern banking tools with zero pressure. Here’s what you get with the Yuva Mitra Account:

• Free Internet banking, mobile banking, and mobile alerts
• No minimum account balance required

The age limit for opening an account is 18-25 years. When the account holder turns 25, accounts under Yuvamitra are converted to Pride, Delite, or Club Schemes. The holder then agrees to the new scheme’s terms, like maintaining an average balance and paying service charges.
