CORE BANKING FOR CO-OPERATIVE SECTOR

By virtue of combined experience of two decades in India and overseas markets especially – Africa and South East Asia, working with cooperative, rural, regional, micro or thrift banks, we have perfected delivery model that factors in typical challenges of implementation in these segments ranging from IT literacy, legacy data issues, connectivity issues and resistance to process improvements.

Rural banks in India were established with a view to provide sufficient banking and credit facility for agriculture and other rural sectors and to include rural areas into economic mainstream given that a sizeable chunk of Indian population was of rural orientation.

We enjoy a large market share in co-operative banking segment in India having worked with Urban Cooperative Bank, State Co-operative Banks, District Co-operatives Banks and Credit Co-operative Societies. The same has been possible since we understand the challenges faced by each tier of the banks and address the solution by looking at the grass root problems.

Our Core Banking Solution thus addresses very unique requirements such as members owned entity & management, small & micro businesses focussing on regional competencies, large customer base engaged agriculture & related activities, remote location with no or unstable connectivity.

Our Core Banking framework developed for this class of banks easily integrates unique requirements such as shared ownership, interest subvention, micro-savings products, and finance products that suite agricultural, farming, small-scale, handicraft & artisan businesses.
