South Indian Bank

South indian bank which has a tradition of over 70 years of public trust, stepped into the financial terrain of our country when the Swadeshi movement was gathering momentum.

The establishment of the bank was the fulfillment of the dreams of a band of enterprising men who joined together at Thrissur, a major town (now known as the Cultural Capital of Kerala), in the erstwhile State of Cochin to provide for the people a safe, efficient and service oriented repository of savings of the community on one hand and to free the business community from the clutches of greedy money lenders on the other by providing need based credit at reasonable rates of interest. 

 

Translating the vision of the founding fathers as its corporate mission, the bank has during its 70 year long sojourn been able to present itself as a vibrant, fast growing, service oriented and trend setting financial intermediary. 

ICICI,

the premier DFI is the biggest share holder of the Bank with the group company holding 11.38% of the banks equity.
