The SFB, to be named ‘Equitas Small Finance Bank’ (Equitas Bank), will start banking operations after receiving few other approvals from various departments of RBI and other agencies.

Its focus customer segment includes low income groups and economically weaker individuals operating small businesses, as well as MSEs with limited access to formal financing channels on account of their informal, variable and cashbased income profile.
