Date: 24th December 2024 | Read time: 2 Minutes

It's exciting to be shifting to a foreign land, but it does have its financial set of problems. As an NRI, it is thus important that the management of your accounts allows you to handle your finances without hiccups, keeping you up to date with all regulatory requirements, and allowing you to plan. Here is a handy guide for keeping track of banking while abroad:

First, look at your money goals. Save with no tax if you earn money in a foreign currency using an NRE or Non-Resident External account. If you have income in India, for example rents or dividends, you will need an NRO or Non-Resident Ordinary account.

AU Small Finance Bank also assists NRIs to open NRE and NRO Account, which provides high interest rates and special facilities according to your needs.

Before moving abroad, it’s important to change your resident account into an NRI account or open a new one. This helps follow Indian banking rules and makes it easy to access your money.

AU Bank NRI Account is made for NRIs and includes features like:

• High interest rates, with a monthly payout.
• Simple digital banking via the AU 0101 App or NetBanking.
• Tax advisory, investment solutions, and value-added services along with financial planning

You do not have to be in India to manage your money. With strong digital banking platforms, you can conduct transactions, pay bills, or even apply for products from a distance.

Video banking is a special feature that allows one to answer questions or finalize service requests without having to visit a branch. One can book travel tickets, or recharge their telephone, all with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Since the income of an NRI in India is subject to the laws of the land, opening an NRO helps one be in compliance, and savings in tax on money earned abroad are facilitated through an NRE account. For easy access, you can get free tax advisory services from banks such as AU Small Finance Bank that manage Indian income taxes for you.

The right banking partner can definitely make your life abroad smoother. Your NRI Account debit card offers multiple features:

• Zero markup on international transactions, saving you money on exchange rates.
• Free airport lounge access for frequent flyers.
• Worldwide savings of dining and entertainment.

Sending money to and from India should be easier. You can send money very safely using IFSC codes and digital banking tools, like NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS. Also, many banks offer you a good exchange rate, thus it is cheaper to transfer your money.

A dedicated Relationship Manager can really make all the difference. They can assist with financial planning, answer questions, and even manage family accounts so that banking is easier for you and your loved ones.

Many banks help your family in India, not just you. Health check-up saving for your family.

• Discounts on gift options like cakes and flowers, helping you stay close to family even when far away.
• Access to OTT application

There's so much difference with living in another country but looking after your accounts does not have to be difficult. With the right banking options, you can have a comfortable and enjoyable experience designed for your way of life.

Your bank can help you a lot in the new life as an NRI, whether you need high-interest savings, online services, or benefits around the world. Get started today and make banking experience as fun as your new adventure overseas!
