Social Banking

The bank has been a premier institution in banking with the rural poor, down trodden, neglected sector of the society ever since the inception of the RRBs. With an overall exposure of more than 80% under priority sector advances. There can be no better substitute than Baroda U.P. Bank in the social banking having an outreach of banking facilities to over rural people residing in the every nook & corner of the 31 district of U.P. The concept that the poor are bankable & they can be relied for extending bank credit has been proved to be true by the BUPB. With an extensive network of 1983 branches.
