How to Invest in an FD on Groww

Greetings Investors!

At Groww, our endeavor is to provide you with a wide range of investment options that you can invest in with ease. The latest addition to our product suite are fixed deposits. Fixed deposits are investments where individuals can park their excess savings, and enjoy considerable wealth appreciation over the long term. These are not market-linked instruments. Thus, they do not warrant the same risks as mutual funds or equities do.
