Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Which ATM allowance applies to your use?Compare own-bank and other-bank terms in the correct account or card context.

IDFC FIRST Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
Qualifying mainstream Savings Accounts advertise free and unlimited ATM transactions at IDFC FIRST Bank ATMs in India.
Other-bank ATM
The current mainstream Savings Account proposition advertises free and unlimited ATM transactions at any bank, anywhere in India for the ₹10K Visa Classic and ₹25K World Debit Mastercard variants.

AU Small Finance Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
Current AU product tables show scheme-dependent own-bank allowances such as 5, 10 or 20 free monthly transactions before ₹23 financial pricing; exact account schedule controls.
Other-bank ATM
Current AU schedules commonly show 5 free domestic non-AU ATM transactions before ₹23 financial and ₹10 non-financial pricing; scheme-specific exceptions must be checked.
02Will the withdrawal and deposit rules fit?Check withdrawals and machine deposits as separate transactions.

IDFC FIRST Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
₹10K AMB Visa Classic: ₹1 lakh daily ATM cash withdrawal. ₹25K AMB World Debit Mastercard: ₹2 lakh daily ATM cash withdrawal. Card/account/risk controls remain applicable.
Cash deposit machine
IDFC FIRST lists cash deposit at ATM among its zero-charge savings services. The reviewed current material does not establish one universal machine value/note ceiling, so none is inferred.

AU Small Finance Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
Daily cash amount remains the linked debit-card/account limit. The monthly free transaction count only determines whether ATM pricing applies.
Cash deposit machine
AU explicitly aggregates cash deposits made through Branches, ATMs/CDMs and AEPS for cash-deposit charge determination under the applicable Schedule of Charges.
03What charges and failed-ATM handling apply?Check the scope of charges and the recorded failed-transaction treatment.

IDFC FIRST Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Zero-fee treatment is proposition-specific. Apply it only to the qualifying account/card relationship and keep BSBDA/NRI/salary/business or future tariff changes separately sourced.
Failed ATM treatment
RBI T+5 calendar-day reversal and ₹100/day delayed-compensation standard applies to debit-without-cash ATM failures; the card-issuing bank remains the complaint point.

AU Small Finance Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Always match the AU account variant. Branch/ATM/CDM/AEPS cash deposits share the cash-deposit counter, while ATM withdrawal free counts and card daily withdrawal limits remain separate.
Failed ATM treatment
RBI requires T+5 calendar-day reversal when an ATM transaction debits the account without dispensing cash, with ₹100/day compensation beyond T+5; use the issuing-bank complaint route.

ATM / cash service chargesIDFC FIRST currently markets qualifying ₹10,000/₹25,000 AMB Savings Accounts with zero charges on commonly used services including domestic ATM transactions, branch cash deposits/withdrawals, third-party/non-home branch cash and cash deposit at ATM, subject to maintaining the qualifying account conditions.AU's current service-fee schedules show post-free domestic ATM charges of ₹23 financial and ₹10 non-financial. Depending on the account scheme, own-bank monthly free counts can be 5, 10 or 20 and other-bank domestic free usage commonly 5. Cash-deposit allowances are product-specific, with reviewed schedules showing examples such as 5 transactions or ₹2 lakh/month, whichever is earlier, then ₹5 per ₹1,000 with ₹100 minimum.
Eligible account / cardThe zero-fee savings treatment is tied to the qualifying ₹10,000/₹25,000 AMB Savings Account proposition; BSBDA, NRI, salary, current-account and other schemes can have their own operating rules even when some services are also free.ATM/cash benefits vary by AU account proposition and relationship balance. The current schedule is explicitly product/variant-based; no universal AU own-bank free count is inferred.
ATM / cash service coverageQualifying mainstream Savings Accounts currently receive free and unlimited ATM transactions at any bank in India plus zero common branch/cash-deposit service charges under the bank's zero-fee proposition.AU supports branch and ATM/CDM cash deposits, with current schedules aggregating Branch, ATM/CDM and AEPS cash deposits when determining the cash-deposit charge entitlement.
ATM / cash limitsThe World Debit Mastercard linked to the ₹25,000 AMB Savings Account currently lists a ₹2 lakh daily ATM withdrawal limit; the Visa Classic linked to the ₹10,000 AMB variant lists ₹1 lakh/day. Free ATM usage does not override those card cash ceilings.The debit-card variant controls daily withdrawal value. The service-fee schedule's free ATM count and monthly cash-deposit allowance are pricing counters, not card cash ceilings.
ATM / cash accessEligible IDFC FIRST savings customers meeting the current account/KYC and AMB conditions. Debit-card tier and cash-withdrawal limit depend on the selected/linked savings variant.Eligible AU account/debit-card customers. Product tier, card variant and account relationship determine the applicable ATM/cash rules.
Account / card / channel relationshipThe ATM/cash service is free-pricing layered over specific Savings Accounts and debit cards; card-tier cash limits remain separate from the zero-fee transaction promise.ATM/CDM and branch cash usage are tied to the account's service-fee schedule; AU explicitly aggregates cash deposits across Branch, ATM/CDM and AEPS for charging purposes.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

IDFC FIRST Bank

IDFC FIRST Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • IDFC FIRST's zero-fee promise is not a statement that cash amounts are unlimited; debit-card daily ATM limits and regulatory/account controls still apply.
  • The bank states the zero-fee savings package is subject to the qualifying ₹10,000/₹25,000 AMB structure; different account types should not automatically inherit it.
  • A zero charge for cash deposit at ATM does not establish a universal machine note/value ceiling; machine/operational limits should be checked at the point of use.
AU Small Finance Bank

AU Small Finance Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • AU's own-bank ATM free allowance varies by account scheme—current tables show different 5/10/20 transaction treatments—so a single bankwide number would be misleading.
  • Cash deposits across Branch, ATM/CDM and AEPS are aggregated for cash-deposit charging; customers cannot treat each channel as a separate free allowance.
  • The service-fee page contains many product tables; the exact account variant must be matched before applying cash-deposit counts/value or debit-card fee treatment.
