What Utkarsh Small Finance Bank Limited does

Utkarsh Small Finance Bank is a scheduled commercial bank licensed by the RBI as a Small Finance Bank, evolved from a microfinance NBFC (Utkarsh CoreInvest) into a full-fledged bank commencing SFB operations in January 2017. It lends through Micro-Banking (Joint Liability Group and individual micro-business loans), Other Retail Loans (MSME, housing, gold, and commercial vehicle/construction equipment loans), and Wholesale Lending to small and mid-sized corporates, funded by current, savings, and term/recurring deposits gathered through its branch network. Beyond lending and deposit-taking, it earns fee income by distributing third-party insurance, mutual funds, and payment/remittance services to its customer base. Its core franchise remains rural and semi-urban households and small businesses in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, while it expands retail lending and deposit-gathering into new geographies for diversification.
