byPaytm Editorial TeamLast Updated: November 14, 2025

Meaning

CASA stands for Current Account and Savings Account. It shows the total money a bank holds in both current and savings accounts. CASA is important because it represents low-cost funds for the bank.

Importance

Banks prefer higher CASA balances since they pay low interest on savings accounts and none on current accounts, reducing borrowing costs.
