History [edit]
'The Karur Vysya Bank Limited', popularly known as KVB, one such endeavour, was set up in 1916 by two blokes, the Late Shri M A Venkatarama Chettiar and the Late Shri Athi Krishna Chettiar to inculcate the habit of savings and provide financial assistance to traders and small Agriculturists in and around Karur, a textile town in Tamil Nadu. Origins:
What started as a venture with a seed capital of 1 lakh has grown into a leading financial institution that offers the wide gamut of financial services to millions of its customers under one roof.
