Bank Alfalah Savings Account & Profit Rates Guide

Part of PakFinHub's Bank Alfalah coverage — see the full bank overview.

  • 30+ Account Types
  • RAPID Online Opening

Quick answer: Bank Alfalah's profit rate depends on the specific account, currency, and — for Islamic accounts — the monthly Mudarabah declaration, so there is no single "current rate" that applies to every account. Use the comparison table below to find the minimum balance and best fit for your situation; rates are republished as often as weekly, so treat any figure as a dated snapshot.

A Bank Alfalah savings account is the starting point for most retail banking here — and the bank runs one of the widest deposit-account catalogs of any Pakistani bank, with over 30 distinct current, savings, and fixed-deposit products once you count the digital-only, women-focused, freelancer, farmer, and remittance-specific variants. Profit varies by account tier, currency, and (for Islamic accounts) monthly Mudarabah declarations, so the number you see advertised depends entirely on which specific account you're looking at. The bank has republished its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, so treat every rate below as a dated snapshot and always check the live sheet before opening an account.

Fixed / Term Deposit Products & Rate Snapshot

    The standard TDR product — choose payout frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually, or at maturity) across tenors from 1 month to 5 years.

  • Alfa Term Deposit (digital)

    Booked entirely through the Alfa app, with its own slightly different rate card from branch-booked TDRs — tenors from 7 days to 1 year.

  • Alfalah Weekly Profit Term Deposit

    A 1-5 year TDR that pays profit out weekly instead of monthly or at maturity, for customers who want a regular small cashflow.

  • Short Notice Term Deposit

    Very short tenors (7 days to 1 year) for parking funds briefly while still earning a return.

  • Alfalah Floating Term Deposit

    Rate floats with KIBID (bid-side KIBOR) less an applied margin, across 1-3 year tenors and three deposit-size tiers, repricing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually depending on the tier chosen.

  • Alfalah Mahana Amdan / Senior Citizen Mahana Amdan

PKR term-deposit ranges reflect Bank Alfalah's own published rate sheet (effective 14 January 2026), spanning its standard Term Deposit, Alfa digital TDR, and Weekly Profit TDR variants — exact rate depends on which specific product and booking channel (branch vs. Alfa app) you use. Minimum investment is typically PKR 100,000; negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000. Early encashment is subject to a penalty per the bank's Schedule of Charges.

FCY Term Deposit tiers are based on deposit size in FCY units (Tier 1: under 50,000 units; Tier 2: 50,000-99,999; Tier 3: 100,000+). SAR and CAD are also offered on Roshan Digital Account FCY at matching tiered rates. Negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000 equivalent.

Where Current Profit Rates Live

Because Bank Alfalah has been observed updating its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, this page intentionally frames a Bank Alfalah savings account rate as a dated snapshot rather than a single "current" number that would go stale within days. Check Bank Alfalah's official Rate Sheet page (Personal Banking) for conventional accounts, or its Key Fact Statements & Profit Rates page (Islamic Banking) for Mudarabah-based accounts, both of which are dated and re-published on a rolling basis.

Opening an Account Online — Bank Alfalah RAPID

RAPID (rapid.bankalfalah.com) is Bank Alfalah's dedicated digital account-opening portal — available under both Conventional and Islamic banking modes — and it's the answer to "bank alfalah online account opening" and "bank alfalah digital account opening" as actual search terms. You choose Current or Savings, upload your CNIC and required documents, complete a short verification (NADRA/biometric/mobile SIM matching), and the bank typically activates the account within 24 hours (1 working day) if there are no discrepancies.

  • What you can do on RAPID

    Open a new Current or Savings account, apply for Debit/Credit Cards, and request Personal, Home, or Auto Loans — end to end, without a branch visit, in minutes with minimal documentation and no additional charges.

  • Existing-customer self-service

    E-Statement subscription, SMS Alerts subscription, Internet Banking registration, cheque book requests, CNIC updates, Withholding Tax Certificate issuance, and e-transaction blocking/unblocking.

  • Early account limits

    For the first 60 days from account opening, or until biometric verification (whichever comes first), a cumulative debit+credit turnover cap of PKR 200,000/month applies — removed instantly once biometric verification is completed at a branch.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official RAPID portal and its published RAPID FAQ/Terms & Conditions documents. Eligibility: individual Pakistani residents aged 18 or over.

Zakat Exemption on Savings Accounts

Zakat is deducted automatically from eligible PKR savings account balances under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, unless you file an exemption. To claim exemption, email your Zakat Affidavit/CZ-50 declaration form and CNIC copy to zakat@bankalfalah.com, or submit the Declaration Form for Zakat Exemption at your parent/home branch — before the 1st of Shaban each Islamic calendar year. Missing the deadline means Zakat is deducted for that year regardless of your eligibility. Zakat deduction rates, thresholds (Nisab), and exemption rules are set under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance and can be revised — confirm current treatment with the bank and official Zakat guidance rather than relying solely on this page.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official account eligibility and documentation disclosures (rapid.bankalfalah.com and bankalfalah.com).

Investing Through Bank Alfalah — Mutual Funds & More

Bank Alfalah does have a Bank Alfalah-affiliated asset management arm — Alfalah GHP Investment Management Limited, incorporated in 2005, confirmed in the bank's own audited Annual Report 2025 — running mutual funds and managed portfolios distinct from the bank's own deposit products. Beyond that, customers can also invest in third-party mutual funds via bill-payment channels like KUICKPAY (for example, Al Meezan Investments funds), in addition to Bank Alfalah's own in-app K-Trade stock-investing service and direct access to Term Deposits, PIBs, T-Bills, and Sukuks through Alfa.

Alfalah GHP Investment Management confirmed directly from Bank Alfalah's audited Annual Report 2025 ("Major Corporate Events" timeline).

Minimum Balance Requirements & Service Charges

Pehchaan, NRP, FCY, Asaan, SnaPack, Care, and Pensioner accountsNo minimum balance requirementNIL
Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, effective 1 July to 31 December 2026. Per the same document, no service charges are levied on Mustahkeen of Zakat, students, or Government/Semi-Government employees for salary/pension purposes, regardless of the account type above.

Term Deposit — Early Encashment Penalty

If you break a PKR Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) before maturity, Bank Alfalah pays profit for the completed term at whichever is lower: the applicable Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) at time of booking, or the rack rate for the nearest completed tenor. If your booked rate is below that applicable rate, you receive a rate 2% below the applicable rate instead — and for most tenors (excluding 7-day and 1-month), the bank also reserves the right to adjust the payout for the difference between PKRV rates at booking versus encashment, which can reduce the payout below your original principal in some cases. Floating-rate TDRs and FCY TDRs follow separate, similarly formula-based encashment rules.

Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, "Term Deposit Encashment Penalty" section — this is a genuinely complex, formula-driven policy; confirm the exact payout with your branch before breaking a TDR early rather than relying on a simplified summary.

Safe Deposit Lockers

SmallPKR 20,000/yearPKR 50,000 (refundable)
MediumPKR 30,000/yearPKR 50,000 (refundable)

    Rate floats with KIBID (bid-side KIBOR) less an applied margin, across 1-3 year tenors and three deposit-size tiers, repricing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually depending on the tier chosen.

    A monthly-income-focused term product, structured on the same KIBID-less-margin basis as the Floating Term Deposit, split into deposit-size tiers.

PKR term-deposit ranges reflect Bank Alfalah's own published rate sheet (effective 14 January 2026), spanning its standard Term Deposit, Alfa digital TDR, and Weekly Profit TDR variants — exact rate depends on which specific product and booking channel (branch vs. Alfa app) you use. Minimum investment is typically PKR 100,000; negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000. Early encashment is subject to a penalty per the bank's Schedule of Charges.

SAR and CAD are also offered on Roshan Digital Account FCY at matching tiered rates. Negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000 equivalent.

Where Current Profit Rates Live

Because Bank Alfalah has been observed updating its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, this page intentionally frames a Bank Alfalah savings account rate as a dated snapshot rather than a single "current" number that would go stale within days. Check Bank Alfalah's official Rate Sheet page (Personal Banking) for conventional accounts, or its Key Fact Statements & Profit Rates page (Islamic Banking) for Mudarabah-based accounts, both of which are dated and re-published on a rolling basis.

Opening an Account Online — Bank Alfalah RAPID

RAPID (rapid.bankalfalah.com) is Bank Alfalah's dedicated digital account-opening portal — available under both Conventional and Islamic banking modes — and it's the answer to "bank alfalah online account opening" and "bank alfalah digital account opening" as actual search terms. You choose Current or Savings, upload your CNIC and required documents, complete a short verification (NADRA/biometric/mobile SIM matching), and the bank typically activates the account within 24 hours (1 working day) if there are no discrepancies.

  • What you can do on RAPID

    Open a new Current or Savings account, apply for Debit/Credit Cards, and request Personal, Home, or Auto Loans — end to end, without a branch visit, in minutes with minimal documentation and no additional charges.

  • Existing-customer self-service

    E-Statement subscription, SMS Alerts subscription, Internet Banking registration, cheque book requests, CNIC updates, Withholding Tax Certificate issuance, and e-transaction blocking/unblocking.

  • Early account limits

    For the first 60 days from account opening, or until biometric verification (whichever comes first), a cumulative debit+credit turnover cap of PKR 200,000/month applies — removed instantly once biometric verification is completed at a branch.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official RAPID portal and its published RAPID FAQ/Terms & Conditions documents. Eligibility: individual Pakistani residents aged 18 or over.

Zakat Exemption on Savings Accounts

Zakat is deducted automatically from eligible PKR savings account balances under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, unless you file an exemption. To claim exemption, email your Zakat Affidavit/CZ-50 declaration form and CNIC copy to zakat@bankalfalah.com, or submit the Declaration Form for Zakat Exemption at your parent/home branch — before the 1st of Shaban each Islamic calendar year. Missing the deadline means Zakat is deducted for that year regardless of your eligibility. Zakat deduction rates, thresholds (Nisab), and exemption rules are set under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance and can be revised — confirm current treatment with the bank and official Zakat guidance rather than relying solely on this page.

Investing Through Bank Alfalah — Mutual Funds & More

Bank Alfalah does have a Bank Alfalah-affiliated asset management arm — Alfalah GHP Investment Management Limited, incorporated in 2005, confirmed in the bank's own audited Annual Report 2025 — running mutual funds and managed portfolios distinct from the bank's own deposit products. Beyond that, customers can also invest in third-party mutual funds via bill-payment channels like KUICKPAY (for example, Al Meezan Investments funds), in addition to Bank Alfalah's own in-app K-Trade stock-investing service and direct access to Term Deposits, PIBs, T-Bills, and Sukuks through Alfa.

Per the same document, no service charges are levied on Mustahkeen of Zakat, students, or Government/Semi-Government employees for salary/pension purposes, regardless of the account type above.

Term Deposit — Early Encashment Penalty

If you break a PKR Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) before maturity, Bank Alfalah pays profit for the completed term at whichever is lower: the applicable Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) at time of booking, or the rack rate for the nearest completed tenor. If your booked rate is below that applicable rate, you receive a rate 2% below the applicable rate instead — and for most tenors (excluding 7-day and 1-month), the bank also reserves the right to adjust the payout for the difference between PKRV rates at booking versus encashment, which can reduce the payout below your original principal in some cases. Floating-rate TDRs and FCY TDRs follow separate, similarly formula-based encashment rules.

Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, "Term Deposit Encashment Penalty" section — this is a genuinely complex, formula-driven policy; confirm the exact payout with your branch before breaking a TDR early rather than relying on a simplified summary.

Bank Alfalah Savings Account & Profit Rates Guide

Part of PakFinHub's Bank Alfalah coverage — see the full bank overview.

  • 30+ Account Types
  • RAPID Online Opening

Quick answer: Bank Alfalah's profit rate depends on the specific account, currency, and — for Islamic accounts — the monthly Mudarabah declaration, so there is no single "current rate" that applies to every account. Use the comparison table below to find the minimum balance and best fit for your situation; rates are republished as often as weekly, so treat any figure as a dated snapshot.

A Bank Alfalah savings account is the starting point for most retail banking here — and the bank runs one of the widest deposit-account catalogs of any Pakistani bank, with over 30 distinct current, savings, and fixed-deposit products once you count the digital-only, women-focused, freelancer, farmer, and remittance-specific variants. Profit varies by account tier, currency, and (for Islamic accounts) monthly Mudarabah declarations, so the number you see advertised depends entirely on which specific account you're looking at. The bank has republished its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, so treat every rate below as a dated snapshot and always check the live sheet before opening an account.

Bank Alfalah Savings Account & Profit Rates Guide

Part of PakFinHub's Bank Alfalah coverage — see the full bank overview.

  • 30+ Account Types
  • RAPID Online Opening

Quick answer: Bank Alfalah's profit rate depends on the specific account, currency, and — for Islamic accounts — the monthly Mudarabah declaration, so there is no single "current rate" that applies to every account. Use the comparison table below to find the minimum balance and best fit for your situation; rates are republished as often as weekly, so treat any figure as a dated snapshot.

A Bank Alfalah savings account is the starting point for most retail banking here — and the bank runs one of the widest deposit-account catalogs of any Pakistani bank, with over 30 distinct current, savings, and fixed-deposit products once you count the digital-only, women-focused, freelancer, farmer, and remittance-specific variants. Profit varies by account tier, currency, and (for Islamic accounts) monthly Mudarabah declarations, so the number you see advertised depends entirely on which specific account you're looking at. The bank has republished its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, so treat every rate below as a dated snapshot and always check the live sheet before opening an account.

    Built for the daily financial needs of salaried individuals — the bank's standard everyday transactional account.

Fixed / Term Deposit Products & Rate Snapshot

    The standard TDR product — choose payout frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually, or at maturity) across tenors from 1 month to 5 years.

  • Alfa Term Deposit (digital)

    Booked entirely through the Alfa app, with its own slightly different rate card from branch-booked TDRs — tenors from 7 days to 1 year.

  • Alfalah Weekly Profit Term Deposit

    A 1-5 year TDR that pays profit out weekly instead of monthly or at maturity, for customers who want a regular small cashflow.

  • Short Notice Term Deposit

    Very short tenors (7 days to 1 year) for parking funds briefly while still earning a return.

  • Alfalah Floating Term Deposit

    Rate floats with KIBID (bid-side KIBOR) less an applied margin, across 1-3 year tenors and three deposit-size tiers, repricing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually depending on the tier chosen.

  • Alfalah Mahana Amdan / Senior Citizen Mahana Amdan

PKR term-deposit ranges reflect Bank Alfalah's own published rate sheet (effective 14 January 2026), spanning its standard Term Deposit, Alfa digital TDR, and Weekly Profit TDR variants — exact rate depends on which specific product and booking channel (branch vs. Alfa app) you use. Minimum investment is typically PKR 100,000; negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000. Early encashment is subject to a penalty per the bank's Schedule of Charges.

FCY Term Deposit tiers are based on deposit size in FCY units (Tier 1: under 50,000 units; Tier 2: 50,000-99,999; Tier 3: 100,000+). SAR and CAD are also offered on Roshan Digital Account FCY at matching tiered rates. Negotiated rates may apply above PKR 3,000,000 equivalent.

Where Current Profit Rates Live

Because Bank Alfalah has been observed updating its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, this page intentionally frames a Bank Alfalah savings account rate as a dated snapshot rather than a single "current" number that would go stale within days. Check Bank Alfalah's official Rate Sheet page (Personal Banking) for conventional accounts, or its Key Fact Statements & Profit Rates page (Islamic Banking) for Mudarabah-based accounts, both of which are dated and re-published on a rolling basis.

Opening an Account Online — Bank Alfalah RAPID

RAPID (rapid.bankalfalah.com) is Bank Alfalah's dedicated digital account-opening portal — available under both Conventional and Islamic banking modes — and it's the answer to "bank alfalah online account opening" and "bank alfalah digital account opening" as actual search terms. You choose Current or Savings, upload your CNIC and required documents, complete a short verification (NADRA/biometric/mobile SIM matching), and the bank typically activates the account within 24 hours (1 working day) if there are no discrepancies.

  • What you can do on RAPID

    Open a new Current or Savings account, apply for Debit/Credit Cards, and request Personal, Home, or Auto Loans — end to end, without a branch visit, in minutes with minimal documentation and no additional charges.

  • Existing-customer self-service

    E-Statement subscription, SMS Alerts subscription, Internet Banking registration, cheque book requests, CNIC updates, Withholding Tax Certificate issuance, and e-transaction blocking/unblocking.

  • Early account limits

    For the first 60 days from account opening, or until biometric verification (whichever comes first), a cumulative debit+credit turnover cap of PKR 200,000/month applies — removed instantly once biometric verification is completed at a branch.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official RAPID portal and its published RAPID FAQ/Terms & Conditions documents. Eligibility: individual Pakistani residents aged 18 or over.

Zakat Exemption on Savings Accounts

Zakat is deducted automatically from eligible PKR savings account balances under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, unless you file an exemption. To claim exemption, email your Zakat Affidavit/CZ-50 declaration form and CNIC copy to zakat@bankalfalah.com, or submit the Declaration Form for Zakat Exemption at your parent/home branch — before the 1st of Shaban each Islamic calendar year. Missing the deadline means Zakat is deducted for that year regardless of your eligibility. Zakat deduction rates, thresholds (Nisab), and exemption rules are set under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance and can be revised — confirm current treatment with the bank and official Zakat guidance rather than relying solely on this page.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official account eligibility and documentation disclosures (rapid.bankalfalah.com and bankalfalah.com).

Investing Through Bank Alfalah — Mutual Funds & More

Bank Alfalah does have a Bank Alfalah-affiliated asset management arm — Alfalah GHP Investment Management Limited, incorporated in 2005, confirmed in the bank's own audited Annual Report 2025 — running mutual funds and managed portfolios distinct from the bank's own deposit products. Beyond that, customers can also invest in third-party mutual funds via bill-payment channels like KUICKPAY (for example, Al Meezan Investments funds), in addition to Bank Alfalah's own in-app K-Trade stock-investing service and direct access to Term Deposits, PIBs, T-Bills, and Sukuks through Alfa.

Alfalah GHP Investment Management confirmed directly from Bank Alfalah's audited Annual Report 2025 ("Major Corporate Events" timeline).

Minimum Balance Requirements & Service Charges

Pehchaan, NRP, FCY, Asaan, SnaPack, Care, and Pensioner accountsNo minimum balance requirementNIL
Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, effective 1 July to 31 December 2026. Per the same document, no service charges are levied on Mustahkeen of Zakat, students, or Government/Semi-Government employees for salary/pension purposes, regardless of the account type above.

Term Deposit — Early Encashment Penalty

If you break a PKR Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) before maturity, Bank Alfalah pays profit for the completed term at whichever is lower: the applicable Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) at time of booking, or the rack rate for the nearest completed tenor. If your booked rate is below that applicable rate, you receive a rate 2% below the applicable rate instead — and for most tenors (excluding 7-day and 1-month), the bank also reserves the right to adjust the payout for the difference between PKRV rates at booking versus encashment, which can reduce the payout below your original principal in some cases. Floating-rate TDRs and FCY TDRs follow separate, similarly formula-based encashment rules.

Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, "Term Deposit Encashment Penalty" section — this is a genuinely complex, formula-driven policy; confirm the exact payout with your branch before breaking a TDR early rather than relying on a simplified summary.

Safe Deposit Lockers

Locker SizeAnnual RentSecurity Deposit
SmallPKR 20,000/yearPKR 50,000 (refundable)
MediumPKR 30,000/yearPKR 50,000 (refundable)

Where Current Profit Rates Live

Because Bank Alfalah has been observed updating its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, this page intentionally frames a Bank Alfalah savings account rate as a dated snapshot rather than a single "current" number that would go stale within days. Check Bank Alfalah's official Rate Sheet page (Personal Banking) for conventional accounts, or its Key Fact Statements & Profit Rates page (Islamic Banking) for Mudarabah-based accounts, both of which are dated and re-published on a rolling basis.

Opening an Account Online — Bank Alfalah RAPID

RAPID (rapid.bankalfalah.com) is Bank Alfalah's dedicated digital account-opening portal — available under both Conventional and Islamic banking modes — and it's the answer to "bank alfalah online account opening" and "bank alfalah digital account opening" as actual search terms. You choose Current or Savings, upload your CNIC and required documents, complete a short verification (NADRA/biometric/mobile SIM matching), and the bank typically activates the account within 24 hours (1 working day) if there are no discrepancies.

  • What you can do on RAPID

    Open a new Current or Savings account, apply for Debit/Credit Cards, and request Personal, Home, or Auto Loans — end to end, without a branch visit, in minutes with minimal documentation and no additional charges.

  • Existing-customer self-service

    E-Statement subscription, SMS Alerts subscription, Internet Banking registration, cheque book requests, CNIC updates, Withholding Tax Certificate issuance, and e-transaction blocking/unblocking.

  • Early account limits

    For the first 60 days from account opening, or until biometric verification (whichever comes first), a cumulative debit+credit turnover cap of PKR 200,000/month applies — removed instantly once biometric verification is completed at a branch.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official RAPID portal and its published RAPID FAQ/Terms & Conditions documents. Eligibility: individual Pakistani residents aged 18 or over.

Zakat Exemption on Savings Accounts

Zakat is deducted automatically from eligible PKR savings account balances under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, unless you file an exemption. To claim exemption, email your Zakat Affidavit/CZ-50 declaration form and CNIC copy to zakat@bankalfalah.com, or submit the Declaration Form for Zakat Exemption at your parent/home branch — before the 1st of Shaban each Islamic calendar year. Missing the deadline means Zakat is deducted for that year regardless of your eligibility. Zakat deduction rates, thresholds (Nisab), and exemption rules are set under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance and can be revised — confirm current treatment with the bank and official Zakat guidance rather than relying solely on this page.

Sourced from Bank Alfalah's official account eligibility and documentation disclosures (rapid.bankalfalah.com and bankalfalah.com).

Investing Through Bank Alfalah — Mutual Funds & More

Bank Alfalah does have a Bank Alfalah-affiliated asset management arm — Alfalah GHP Investment Management Limited, incorporated in 2005, confirmed in the bank's own audited Annual Report 2025 — running mutual funds and managed portfolios distinct from the bank's own deposit products. Beyond that, customers can also invest in third-party mutual funds via bill-payment channels like KUICKPAY (for example, Al Meezan Investments funds), in addition to Bank Alfalah's own in-app K-Trade stock-investing service and direct access to Term Deposits, PIBs, T-Bills, and Sukuks through Alfa.

Per the same document, no service charges are levied on Mustahkeen of Zakat, students, or Government/Semi-Government employees for salary/pension purposes, regardless of the account type above.

Term Deposit — Early Encashment Penalty

If you break a PKR Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) before maturity, Bank Alfalah pays profit for the completed term at whichever is lower: the applicable Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) at time of booking, or the rack rate for the nearest completed tenor. If your booked rate is below that applicable rate, you receive a rate 2% below the applicable rate instead — and for most tenors (excluding 7-day and 1-month), the bank also reserves the right to adjust the payout for the difference between PKRV rates at booking versus encashment, which can reduce the payout below your original principal in some cases. Floating-rate TDRs and FCY TDRs follow separate, similarly formula-based encashment rules.

Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, "Term Deposit Encashment Penalty" section — this is a genuinely complex, formula-driven policy; confirm the exact payout with your branch before breaking a TDR early rather than relying on a simplified summary.

Bank Alfalah Savings Account & Profit Rates Guide

Part of PakFinHub's Bank Alfalah coverage — see the full bank overview.

  • 30+ Account Types
  • RAPID Online Opening

Quick answer: Bank Alfalah's profit rate depends on the specific account, currency, and — for Islamic accounts — the monthly Mudarabah declaration, so there is no single "current rate" that applies to every account. Use the comparison table below to find the minimum balance and best fit for your situation; rates are republished as often as weekly, so treat any figure as a dated snapshot.

A Bank Alfalah savings account is the starting point for most retail banking here — and the bank runs one of the widest deposit-account catalogs of any Pakistani bank, with over 30 distinct current, savings, and fixed-deposit products once you count the digital-only, women-focused, freelancer, farmer, and remittance-specific variants. Profit varies by account tier, currency, and (for Islamic accounts) monthly Mudarabah declarations, so the number you see advertised depends entirely on which specific account you're looking at. The bank has republished its deposit rate sheet as often as weekly, so treat every rate below as a dated snapshot and always check the live sheet before opening an account.

Term Deposit — Early Encashment Penalty

If you break a PKR Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) before maturity, Bank Alfalah pays profit for the completed term at whichever is lower: the applicable Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) at time of booking, or the rack rate for the nearest completed tenor. If your booked rate is below that applicable rate, you receive a rate 2% below the applicable rate instead — and for most tenors (excluding 7-day and 1-month), the bank also reserves the right to adjust the payout for the difference between PKRV rates at booking versus encashment, which can reduce the payout below your original principal in some cases. Floating-rate TDRs and FCY TDRs follow separate, similarly formula-based encashment rules.

Sourced directly from Bank Alfalah's official Schedule of Bank Charges, "Term Deposit Encashment Penalty" section — this is a genuinely complex, formula-driven policy; confirm the exact payout with your branch before breaking a TDR early rather than relying on a simplified summary.
