Section 1: The Founding of IDFC FIRST Bank..
Erstwhile IDFC BANK
Continued from page 11
The bank was launched through this demerger from IDFC Limited in
November 2015. During the subsequent three years, the bank
developed a strong and robust framework including strong IT
capabilities for scaling up the banking operations.
The Bank designed efficient treasury management system for its own
proprietary trading, as well as for managing client operations. The
bank started building Corporate banking businesses. Recognizing the
change in the Indian landscape, emerging risk in infrastructure
financing, and the low margins in corporate banking, the bank
launched retail business for assets and liabilities and put together a
strategy to retailize its loan book to diversify and to increase margins.
Since retail required specialized skills, seasoning, and scale, the Bank
was looking for inorganic opportunities for merger with a retail lending
partner who already had scale, profitability and specialized skills.
As part of its strategy to diversify its loan book from infrastructure,
the bank was looking for a merger with a retail finance institution
with adequate scale, profitability and specialized skills.
