indian independence and opened for business on january 1st 1921 with an authorised capital of rs .5 lakhs and a paid up capital of rs . 45270 during the first two decades of its functioning the bank concentrated only in kerala . banks and credit institutions which proliferated especially in kerala received a jolt and many of them came to their doom following the crash of the travancore national quilon bank in 1938 followed by palai central bank in 1960 . during the period many small banks came to the verge of collapse shaking the confidence of the public and what followed was a process of consolidation . the strategy of mergers and amalgamations of small banks with bigger banks brought the number of banks within controllable limits thereby making the industry s base strong . in 1964 65 the catholic syrian bank ltd took part in taking over the liabilities and assets of five small medium sized banks in kerala . the expansion programme initiated during these years gathered momentum in the subsequent years . in august 1969 the bank was included in the second schedule to the reserve bank of india act 1934 . in 1975 the bank attained the status of a class scheduled bank when its total deposits crossed rs .25 crores . the necessity of imparting training to staff looked very important and a modest beginning was therefore made in setting up a training college in 1975 . in the same year the bank entered the field of foreign exchange . at a very early stage the bank recognised mechanisation as an effective tool of management and streamlined its accounting procedures by introduction of data processing system . from november 1975 reconciliation of inter branch accounts was mechanised by using ibm data processing machines . the decade of the seventies saw the evolution of a new culture in indian banking . nationalisation of banks imposed social control and imparted new ethos to commercial banking . what followed was a massive expansion of bank branches with a distinct thrust on remote rural belts . special schemes were formulated to cater to the diverse credit needs of small scale industries road transport operators agriculturists and other self employed entrepreneurs . at present the bank has a network of over 430 branches and more than 240 atms across india . the bank also plans to open more number of branches in a phased manner.the newly appointed
