About South Indian Bank

South Indian BankOne of the earliest banks in South India, South Indian Bank came into existence during the Swadeshi movement. The establishment of the bank was the fulfillment of the dreams of a group of enterprising men who came together at Thrissur in the erstwhile State of Cochin to provide for the people a safe, efficient and service oriented repository of savings of the community.

Translating the vision of the founding fathers as its corporate mission, the bank has during its long sojourn, been able to project itself as a vibrant, fast growing, service oriented and trend setting financial intermediary. South Indian Bank has the third largest branch network among Private Sector banks in India, with all its branches under Core banking System. The bank has a network of 522 branches, 267 ATMs and 15 extension counters spread across the country.
