History[edit]

The Karur Vysya Bank Limited, popularly known as KVB was set up on 25 July 1916 by M. A. Venkatarama Chettiar and Athi Krishna Chettiar, to capitalise on the previously unexploited market of traders and agriculturists in and around Karur, a town in Tamil Nadu.

Though the bank started with a seed capital of ₹1 lakh, as with most banks, the seed capital has grown, as have the services sold. The bank is managed and guided by the Board of Directors drawn from different fields.

Realising that there is more money elsewhere, the bank expanded out of Karur and established approximately 668 branches in other States and Union Territories in order to gain a pan-India presence.

Shri K.K. Balu was appointed as an Additional Director of the Bank on 27 January 2012[3]

The Bank has celebrated its Centenary celebrations on 10 September 2016 at Chennai with President of India Shri.Pranab Mukherjee as Chief guest.
