Pune People's Co-Operative Bank

What Pune People's Co-Operative Bank does

Pune People's Co-Operative Bank Limited is a cooperative bank headquartered at Market Yard, Gultekdi, Pune, offering a full suite of retail banking services across Maharashtra and Karnataka. The bank serves individual consumers (home buyers, vehicle buyers, senior citizens, students), MSMEs, and informal-sector micro-entrepreneurs through 26 branches and a digital banking platform, with reported total business of Rs 2,700 crore.

The product portfolio spans deposit products (savings accounts including Basic and Ashirwad youth accounts, term/reinvestment/recurring deposits, current accounts, and the Aaji Ajoba senior citizen scheme) and a broad lending book (housing, private car, commercial vehicle, two-wheeler, personal, travel, education, business, MSME, mortgage, gold, and government-backed loans). Digital infrastructure includes an iOS/Android mobile banking app (built on Trustbank), UPI, RTGS/NEFT, SMS alerts, e-statements, and EMI/interest calculators. The bank integrates with CIBIL for credit checks, PFMS and the Maharashtra Government's Ladki Bahin Yojana for scheme disbursements, and distributes third-party insurance products from Shriram Life Insurance and Future Generali.

The business model is a cooperative bank earnings spread: revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on the loan portfolio (interest rates ranging from 8.50% for car loans to 10.00% for commercial vehicle loans) funded by deposits (costing 4.00%–7.65%), supplemented by transaction fees, locker and SMS charges, and commission income from insurance and government scheme distribution. Customer acquisition combines a branch-led sales model with self-service digital channels, targeting a horizontal segmentation of retail and small-business customers within its Maharashtra–Karnataka catchment.
