Indian Masterminds Stories

In May 2025, Public Sector Banks (PSBs) continued to assert their dominance in cash-based banking services, particularly in ATM and cash deposit machine (CRM) usage. At the same time, private banks maintained their stronghold over digital and e-commerce transactions, reflecting a clear divergence in consumer banking preferences.

Cash Convenience: PSBs Hold Firm Lead at ATMs and CRMs

Out of the total ₹2.45 lakh crore routed through ATMs and CRMs in May, PSBs handled 67.52%—a marginal rise from 67.03% in March. Private banks followed with 30.35%, while small finance banks and others contributed 1.33% and 0.79%, respectively. Although the overall value declined from ₹2.63 lakh crore in March, PSBs managed to grow their share within the shrinking pool.

Digital Surge: Private Banks Command E-Commerce Transactions

On the digital front, private banks processed 73.75% of the total ₹1.32 lakh crore in e-commerce and digital transactions, down slightly from 75.35% in March. PSBs improved their performance, increasing their share from 18.84% in March to 20.44% in May. Foreign banks contributed 5.31%, while payment banks and small finance banks collectively accounted for 0.49%.

PSBs Show Resilience Amid Shifting Banking Trends

While overall ATM values edged down from ₹2.63 lakh crore in March, PSBs marginally increased their dominance. In digital payments, PSBs began gaining ground, signaling cautious yet notable penetration into the online space.
