Focused on Innovation and Inclusion

The new digital tools reflect IOB’s vision of becoming a more agile, inclusive, and customer-first bank, especially in rural and underserved regions. These initiatives aim to enhance the quality of service, improve customer engagement, and promote financial inclusion through digital channels.

Key Initiatives Unveiled

QR-Based Real-Time Customer Feedback System

This system enables customers to provide immediate feedback about their service experience using QR codes. Key features include:

  • Real-time alerts to senior officials on adverse feedback
  • A structured escalation matrix for low service ratings
  • Recognition system for branches/employees receiving positive feedback
  • Centralized monitoring from the Customer Service Department

Re-KYC Through Business Correspondents (BCs)

Designed to simplify and democratize the Re-KYC process, this initiative allows:

  • Aadhaar-based biometric Re-KYC at customers’ doorstep via BC agents
  • Multiple digital channels for Re-KYC updates including SMS, email, ATMs, and the IOB website
  • Greater access for rural and elderly customers

WhatsApp Banking in Multiple Languages

IOB has introduced multilingual WhatsApp banking, allowing customers to:

  • Check account balances
  • View mini statements
  • Locate the nearest branch
  • Access services in English, Hindi, Tamil, and other regional languages

This low-data, widely accessible platform promotes banking services for non-tech-savvy and rural populations.

A Vision for 2047: Aligning with India’s Growth Story

Speaking at the event, Mr. M. Nagaraju lauded the bank’s initiatives, especially Re-KYC through Business Correspondents and WhatsApp Banking. He emphasized the need for Indian Overseas Bank to plan long-term.

“The Bank must have a vision for 2047, aligned with India’s growth aspirations, to continue serving the evolving needs of its customers with innovation and integrity,” he said.
