Punjab and Sind Bank plans to double ATM network
State-owned Punjab & Sind Bank plans to double its ATM network to about 1,600 in the next two years to increase its touch points and brand visibility. Besides, the bank also intends to open 50 more branches during the current financial year taking the total network beyond 1,600, Punjab & Sind Bank managing director Swarup Kumar Saha told PTI.

The addition of new branches would add to low-cost deposits and help in penetration of loan products, he said.
 
“We are trying to build operational efficiency more so that I can reduce my cost and increase my fee income. We are moving to very granular areas like increasing ATM network, improving digital banking experience,” he said.
 
He said ATM network can itself be a profit centre because outside customer pays about ₹17 per transaction for the use of ATM machine.
 
The bank is in the process of upgrading its core banking solution (CBS) which would help digital journey much better and also bring in efficiency, he said.
 
With regard to recovery, Saha said, the outlook for the current financial year is ₹1,500 crore and take all efforts to achieve the target.
 
The bank intends to pre-load recovery and sensitise all borrowers about the virtues of debt servicing, he said.
