RBL in talks to onboard 160 mn Zerodha clients
Financial Express Mumbai
|October 25, 2025
RBL BANK IS in advanced discussions to open bank accounts for Zerodha’s 160 million broking clients — a move that could unlock up to ₹40,000 crore in sticky deposits and deliver more than 30% overnight boost to the bank’s deposit base — said sources close to the development.
“The potential inflow from Zerodha’s client pool represents a strategic leap in RBL’s retail franchise and CASA ratio,” a source said, indicating that talks between the two have been going on for some time.
“We would not like to comment,’ said Zerodha’s spokesperson, while a query sent to RBL Bank went unanswered.
Zerodha’s client base is essentially traders, making their funds particularly attractive for CASA mobilisation. The ₹40,000-crore potential deposits are not just a quantum, they represent low churn and high retention money. For RBL, this could mean a significant improvement in cost of funds and liquidity profile.
