Key Points

USFB has served 4.94 million customers as of September 30, 2019, and the bank considers its customers to be the most significant stakeholders at the core of its operations. USFB believes that customers prefer one source for multiple financial products and services, and hence, the bank’s spectrum of products and services coupled with allocating each customer with a relationship officer helps in customer acquisition and retention. The bank launched “Sampoorna Banking” in April 2019 that extends full banking services including education loans, vehicle loans, deposits, funds transfer facilities and distribution of insurance to families of their existing micro banking customers. On the liability side, they offer a variety of demand deposits and other services so that its customers can realize their savings goals. To constantly assess its customers’ requirements and feedback for the introduction of new products, the bank has a dedicated service quality department to focus on customer retention, customer protection and grievance redressal. Customer satisfaction scores of its Banking Outlets have improved from 77.11% in FY18 to 78.53% in FY 2019.

USFB has an established risk management framework to identify, measure, monitor and manage credit, market, liquidity, IT and operational risks. The bank has implemented credit management models such as decentralized loan sanctioning and stringent credit history checks. USFB continually uses technology and data analytics to manage credit risks and its in-house analytics team has developed a credit application scorecard to make informed decisions on lending.
