All-women bank branch in Salem - The Hindu

State Bank of Hyderabad plans to open an all-women branch in Salem in July-August this year.

Its General Manager (SZ II) B. Ganesh Pai told The Hindu here on Monday that this would be one of the five all women branches that the bank proposed to open on the same day across the country. The branch would offer all products and services of the bank.

Computerised branch

It would be a fully-computerised branch, would have core banking solutions and would be managed fully by women.

This would be the first all women branch of the bank in Tamil Nadu.

“The branch is proposed as it helps connect better with women customers,” he said.

The bank had two regional offices in the State – one in Coimbatore and the other in Chennai.

The Coimbatore region had opened four new branches so far in 2013 and planned to open another four by the end of June.

25 branches

The bank planned to open 25 more branches during 2013-2014.

The zone had 47 branches now.
