What was termed as the biggest initiative of financial
inclusion in the country by the Prime Minister at its launch, the India Post
Payments Bank (IPPB), a ‘Digital-First Bank’ built on the rails of wide
physical distribution network of India Post under the Ministry of
Communication, Government of India, has announced a major milestone since inception
towards achieving its financial inclusion goals through digital banking.
Today, IPPB announced that it has crossed the
five-crore customer mark in 3 years of commencement of operations to become one
of the fastest growing digital payments bank in the country.
IPPB opened up these five crore accounts in
digital and paperless mode through its
1.36 lakh Post Offices, out of which 1.20 lakh
are in rural areas with the help of about 1.47 lakhs doorstep banking service
providers. With this, IPPB has achieved the world’s largest digital financial
literacy programme by building a financially aware and empowered customer-base
leveraging the strength of 2,80,000 Post Office employees. IPPB has further
stated that it has taken the digital banking to the grassroots-levels through
Interoperable Payments and Settlement Systems of NPCI, RBI and UIDAI offering
services in over 13 languages.
Interestingly, out of the total account
holders, around 48% were women account holders; while 52% were male that
indicated the Bank’s focus on bringing the women customers under the banking
network. About 98% of accounts of women were opened at the doorsteps and over
68% of women were availing DBT benefits. In yet another milestone, IPPB revealed
that it attracted youths to avail digital banking services. Over 41% of account
holders were in the age group of 18 to 35 years.
Speaking about this landmark occasion, Shri
Vineet Pandey, Secretary, Department of Posts said, “At India Post, we are
committed towards becoming one of the largest financial inclusion networks in
India, covering both urban and rural India. Reaching to five crore customers in
a short span of 3 years speaks of the success of this model of providing cost –
effective, simple, easy and secure digital ecosystem, particularly to rural
India. We are happy that we could empower rural women too, to avail the banking
services at their doorsteps.”
Shri J. Venkatramu, MD & CEO, India Post
Payments Bank said, “It is a moment of pride for the Bank, as we have moved
from strength to strength while building this customer base while providing
uninterrupted banking and G2C services even during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The
Bank is able to scale its customer acquisition on a fully digital and paperless
banking platform serving people at their doorstep. The bank is committed to
serve the rural, under-banked and unbanked citizens through collaboration &
co-creation of suitable products & services.”
With this view, IPPB has been able to leverage
upon its parental strength of Department of Posts and is steadily transforming
and reshaping the financial inclusion landscape across the country. In the near
future, our endeavour is to build a unified service platform offering various
citizen-centric financial services, including credit, at the doorstep by
leveraging India stack such as JAM, Sahmati etc.
