| Decision factor | Union Bank of India Savings Bank Account for Students (SBZER) | Bank of Baroda bob Champ Account |
|---|---|---|
| Cost / charges | No minimum balance requirement under the current SBZER product page; nil NEFT charges are highlighted. Other service/card charges remain subject to the bank's current schedule. | Zero minimum monthly average balance and nil non-maintenance charge under the current bob Champ proposition. Debit-card issuance is free; renewal follows Bank of Baroda's current debit-card service-charge schedule. |
| Balance / relationship | No minimum balance requirement while the customer remains eligible for SBZER. | Zero MAB. Bank of Baroda states a ₹1 lakh maximum balance for self-operated minors aged 10-14; the current page says the ceiling does not apply in the same way above age 14, subject to extant bank guidelines. |
| Core benefits | Debit-card access with ₹2 lakh personal accidental death cover under current terms, internet/mobile banking, cheque access and nil NEFT charges. | Theme-based bob Champ RuPay Debit Card or RuPay Classic option from age 10, internet/mobile banking above 10, one free DD per month for eligible fee payment, education-oriented transfer treatment and auto/reverse sweep. |
| Limits / allowances | Union Bank currently publishes ₹25,000 daily ATM cash-withdrawal limit and ₹50,000 daily POS limit for the student proposition. | Current bob Champ terms state ₹5,000 overall daily transaction limit and ₹3,000 combined ATM/POS daily limit; ATM withdrawal is capped at ₹3,000 per day. |
| Eligibility | Students above 10 and up to 25 years pursuing regular courses. Accounts of student minors below 10 are operated by parent/guardian under current product FAQs. | Resident minors age 0-18. A minor above 10 may hold the account singly; younger minors can use the account jointly/through a parent or guardian under current Bank of Baroda rules. |
| Ongoing relationship rule | Student-status relationship. Union Bank's published conversion notice states SBZER converts to normal savings after age 25, when ordinary savings-account terms apply. | Bank of Baroda explicitly offers either a bob Champ RuPay Debit Card or RuPay Classic Debit Card from age 10; this profile maps only the named bob Champ option as an available, not guaranteed, variant. |

These tools help narrow or inspect the records. They do not replace bank eligibility, live pricing or account-specific controls.
One side's source depth or freshness never fills a gap in the other record.
