Rural Extension Branches
Digital banking and payments has increased multifold in urban areas and metros but not so much in rural areas of India. MBS is striving to bridge that gap and make banking and technology more accessible in the hinterlands. Providing access to banking services is an important keystone of the socio-economic development of any country while boosting prosperity.
Banks can achieve both cost optimization and operational efficiency through this model as Ultra-thin Banking branches set-up and managed by MBS are at 1/3rd the cost, yet garner 4 times the transactions.
REB Model
Manipal Business Solutions’ REB model has proven to be the balance between providing banking services to underbanked regions and costs that go along with these geographies.
REB is built on the network of well-trained manpower with over 250+ rural extension branches for some leading private banks in India
