The rural landscape of India faces a lot of unique hurdles that cover a lack of infrastructure and financial literacy coupled with geographical remoteness. Federal Bank has recognised these challenges and has embarked on a journey of revolutionising banking in rural areas. Through its initiative 'Bank On The Go’, Federal Bank has developed a comprehensive solution to ensure banking and financial services are more user-friendly, accessible, and customised to meet the specific requirements of the rural population.
What is 'Bank On The Go’?
'Bank On The Go’, a revolutionising initiative by Federal Bank focuses on offering banking and financial services to the doorstep of every remote community. This visionary program displays the Bank’s dedication to bridging the gap between urban and rural areas. It aims to empower people in the most remote areas of the country to get access to banking and financial services.
Federal Bank has identified the challenges faced by customers residing in rural and remote areas of the country, one of which is the lack of access to banking services. This led to the launch of Federal Bank’s 'Bank on the Go' initiative. Under this creative initiative, a mobile vehicle that is well-equipped with banking kiosks travels to different locations. The mobile vehicle also has a leased line internet connection and this ensures a stable internet connectivity, thereby offering customers in remote areas the ability to access banking services without having to travel long distances.
The “Bank On the Go” initiative is beneficial to rural customers in several ways.
1. It makes financial and banking services more accessible in areas where traditional physical banks are either located very far away or are absent.
2. It promotes financial inclusion and enables every individual to be a part of the financial ecosystem.
3. Individuals in remote areas can conduct basic transactions easily without the need to travel to a distant traditional bank.
4. It can also help individuals get access to loans and other facilities offered by the Bank.
Federal Bank's 'Bank On The Go' initiative is in sync with the vision of developing a cashless economy. This program will encourage people to transact online and minimise their dependency on physical currency. This enhances the overall overall financial efficiency. This, in turn, will contribute to having a transparent and accountable financial ecosystem.
