Prioritising accessibility to banking services

Branch banking allows us to serve customers across 24 states and Union Territories of India through our 575 banking outlets and enables us to grow our reach.

OUTLOOK

Going forward, we will concentrate on improving our customer and product sourcing mix, with nearly 50% contribution from flagship offerings with higher Average Ticket Size (ATS) such as — Privilege Savings Account, Garima Savings Account, Senior Citizen Savings Account, NRI Savings Account and Business Edge Current Account. We are also planning to offer new products and services that will cater to the needs of our targeted customer segments of different strata. Further, we will expand our reach among small-and medium-size retailers with Point of Sale (POS) and QR led acquisition.

Given the large unexplored potential of the NRI segment, we plan to channelise the branch resources to acquire more NRI relationships. We are engaging the digital team for executing a framework for acquiring more NRI relationships through nonface to face offering to eliminate the geographical restriction and help low-cost acquisitions. Further, we will be implementing digitally enabled banking solutions for government and institution business such as Public Funds Management System (PFMS) for various agencies for payment and collection of funds, payment gateway facility to government and TASC customers, customised POS and QR offering to the TASC segment.

Over the last 4 years of our banking operations, we have created a large and diversified customer base and we see a huge opportunity in terms of enhancing their wallet share by cross-selling, offering upgrades and engaging with them through different digital channels. Going forward, we will focus on continued engagement with the entire customer base, offering complete banking solution under one roof to increase their wallet share with our Bank.
