Public sector lender, United Bank of India is planning to close some of its loss making branches, especially those in urban locations and possibly even some in rural areas where other banks have a branch. The bank has begun a process to identify the worst-performing branches among the loss-making ones and will soon close such branches.
The bank is facing the problem of rapidly increasing bad loans, while hike in NPAs making the condition worse. The bank’s ratio of gross non-performing assets (NPAs) to gross advances rose to 10.82% as on December 31, 2013 from 7.52% as on September 30, 2013 and 4.42% as on December 31, 2012.
United Bank of India is one of the 14 major banks which were nationalized on July 19, 1969. After nationalization, the Bank expanded its branch network in a big way and actively participated in the developmental activities, particularly in the rural and semi-urban areas in conformity with the objectives of nationalisation.
