(10718)

Serving 1Cr+ customers through 800+ branches with doorstep banking and digital solutions. The new age social bank is here to redefine your banking experience. We primarily focus on expanding the banking horizon to new unbanked areas, yet we stand as a bank for all with a presence in urban, semi-urban, rural and rural unbanked areas. No matter whether you are an individual or a businessman or an en

trepreneur or an NRI, we are here to meet your needs. The quality of enabling livelihoods is ingrained in our DNA and we consider banking as a natural extension of our passion. Yes, we are here to bridge a missing link in the business of banking – the Joy of Banking. We believe that ‘Joy’ is meant for everyone. From Microfinance to Small Finance Bank, the path was full of thorns and rocks. However, we thoroughly enjoyed each and every step, thanks to the passion exemplified by the organisation as a whole. From the field staff to the Managing Director, we were truly focused on our vision to build a just and fair society. The recognition from the apex financial institution of the country (the Reserve Bank of India) – the license to launch a Small Finance Bank- was a result of this dedication. The numerous awards and accolades we received over the past 31 years are testaments to our commitment and they motivate us to leap higher.

Not all heroes wear capes.
Our Kumbanad Branch team in Kerala put our commitment to customer safety into action, truly reflecting the core values of ESAF.

The team successfully thwarted a cyber-fraud attempt, protecting an 82-year-old senior citizen customer from a major financial loss.

Their timely intervention is a powerful reminder that safeguarding our customers is not just a responsibility — it’s our purpose.
