Our Story
From community roots to cooperative excellence.
The Bapatla Co-Operative Urban Bank Ltd. was established with a singular vision: to provide accessible and affordable financial services to the people of Bapatla and surrounding areas in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh.
What began as a modest cooperative society has grown into a full-fledged urban co-operative bank, licensed by the Reserve Bank of India. Our journey has been defined by an unwavering commitment to the principles of mutual aid, democratic governance, and community empowerment.
Today, with over 25,000 members and a growing branch network, we continue to honour our founding purpose — being a bank that truly belongs to the people it serves. Every deposit, every loan, every interaction reinforces that commitment.
Mission
