Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 7: Federal Bank, a leading financial institution, has been recognised as "Bank of the Year (India)" by Financial Times owned The Banker, one of the only three global awards that considers the work of banks spanning 120 countries. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the Bank's unwavering commitment to innovation, customer-centric services, and its outstanding contributions to the banking industry over the past year.

The vehicle is equipped with a leased line internet connection to ensure stable connectivity, providing rural customers with access to banking services without the need to travel long distances.
Federal Bank has also embraced cutting-edge technology to enhance customer support, introducing "Feddy", an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot.
