South Indian Bank as it ushers in its 80th year of service to the community is the very epitome of this quotation. From its humble beginnings in 1929, the bank has grown from strength to strength in delivering outstanding value to its customers and creating a name for itself in the banking arena. With an initial paid up capital of Rs 22000, the bank has now grown into an organization with a business of Rs 27000 crores, presence in 23 states and 520 branches, truly making it a force to reckon with amongst the banks in the country. “ ... little will become great ” The journey over the last 80 years has not been without its fair share of difficulties, but our bank has always endeavoured to ensure that the basic epithet of customer service was never compromised. Our achievements are a glowing testimonial of the confidence and the trust which we enjoy with our customers. We have been pioneers right from being the first private sector bank to open a NRI branch as well as being the first to start an Industrial Finance branch in 1993. We have been ahead of the curve in taking cognisance of the importance of technology and achieved 100% implementation of the Core Banking Solution in 2007.
