The Vision of Two Legends


Karur Vysya Bank (KVB), one of the oldest banks in the country, has been a trendsetter in
the field of banking and has justly merited the reputation of being one of the best of its kind.
The seeds of the Bank were sown on 1st July 1916 by two great visionaries and illustrious sons of
Karur, late Shri M. A. Venkatarama Chettiar and late Shri Athi Krishna Chettiar. They were men
with sound business acumen, pragmatic vision, clear foresight, unwavering determination and a
high spirit of nationalism.

The founders envisaged a commercial bank which will meet the credit needs of the merchants,
thereby alleviate the problems of the middle class. They took upon themselves the task of proceeding
with the formation of the banking company. It took them nearly three years to mobilise seed capital,
a major part of which was collected only on the basis of their personal assurance / guarantees.

On their part, while promoting a company for the purpose of banking, they visualized that it should
be an institution based on ethics and integrity. It was more of a mission for trust and community
service rather than a commercial venture.

Today KVB continues the glorious tradition initiated by the founders and is committed to serving
its clientele and society at large with the same zeal and enthusiasm.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Progressing towards
a new growth paradigm

Dear Stakeholders,
Before discussing our
performance for the year, I
would like to wish all of you and
your family the best of health
and safety. We live in times
where the world is grappling
with an unprecedented health
crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic
has affected not just our lives
but also the way in which we
work, posing several challenges
to our healthcare and financial
ecosystems alike. However, the
crisis has also ended up opening
new frontiers of growth, with
lessons for us all.
As I took to writing this letter aimed
at bringing forth the highlights
and salient features of our healthy
performance for FY 2019-20, my
thoughts kept going to one place
only: our strong relationships in the
market and the drive for results
demonstrated by our people.

I believe we have acted with foresight


and agility, which are our key strengths
in view of the current macroeconomic
conditions facing us. We continue
to interact with our depositors,
borrowers, various service providers
and other stakeholders, including our
employees, in order to ensure that
our services remain uninterrupted.
This has also helped us to identify
opportunities for value creation.

N. S. Srinath With this background, I would revisit

MD & CEO’S MESSAGE


Building the new
by consolidating the core

Dear Stakeholders,
I am very excited to join the
esteemed KVB family. I consider
it a privilege to be part of a Bank
that has been religiously following,
since 104 years, the time-tested
principles of banking passed on
by its founding fathers. In my
experience, I have perceived
banking as a service based on ‘trust’
and providing ‘customer delight’,
qualities that are inherent in KVB.
Qualities that are also the reason
for the excellent goodwill we enjoy
in the market.
We are always mindful of the trust,
faith and confidence that our customers
and our investors have reposed in us.
The many milestones we have achieved
through over a century are the result
of having successfully safeguarded this
trust by making the correct choices.
Therefore, the choices we make today
will create our tomorrow. This is how
each one of us at the Bank contributes to
shaping its destiny.

At present, the world at large is in the


throes of a crisis unseen in the recent
human history. It is forcing us to unlearn
and relearn. Such a phase also brings
with it a solid opportunity to innovate.
While we cannot stop waves, we can learn
quickly how to surf. When our vision is
clear, we will find our future contributory
space, challenges notwithstanding.
Therefore, it is in times like these, it is
important to remain strong, identify our
areas of growth as well as our strengths,
and leverage them for success. B Ramesh Babu

DIGITALISATION

Smart banking for


an aspiring India
At KVB, we follow a holistic approach towards developing our digital offerings
across platforms. We established the Digital Transformation Project Cell (DTPC)
as a Centre of Excellence for all our digital initiatives in 2017. Vision of the
DTPC is to build digital products with state-of-the-art technology, superior user
experience, quicker turnaround time (TAT) and improved credit quality.

During the year under review, we collaborated with multiple technology companies and
fintech solutions. We launched assisted digital application for retail loans, business loans
and digital co-lending. The COVID-19 pandemic has made people more aware and open
towards digital banking.

of ` 6.07 crores was spent towards various CSR initiatives during the year. Moreover, a sum of ` 8.12 crores was spent out

provided for in the previous financial year towards contribution to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund.

For the current financial year 2019-20, the Bank could spend only ` 6.07 crores against the amount to be spent of ` 11.38
crores. Bank has made provision for the remaining amount to be spent i.e. a sum of ` 5.31 Crores for FY 19-20. This
provision has been made to provide for various projects identified by your Bank and is in various stages of implementation

up to May 31, 2020, in order to limit the spread of the pandemic across India. A calibrated and gradual withdrawal of
lockdown and partial resumption of various business / economic activities are implemented with effect from June 1,
2020, based on the guidelines to be issued by the respective states. The impact of COVID-19 on the Bank's operations
