Mumbai, Apr 27:  “A financial institution’s success relies on the safety aspects and a sense of trust it creates among the customers.

The hard work and honest services of the board of directors of the bank and employees have earned the goodwill the bank enjoys now. We want to spread the wings of the bank all over the country in tune with the name of the bank, based on trust and honest services, Jaya Suvarna said.
