Corporate Identity

A customer-centric institution and solution-focused bank

Our journey began in 1996 when a first generation entrepreneur started as a vehicle financier. Over the years we evolved into a Fortune India 500 Company and a Scheduled Commercial Bank. During this journey, ‘solution orientation’ and ‘customer-centric approach’ have been the hallmark of the progress that we have made and have allowed us to acquire the trust of our customers and deliver a consistent performance.

Our Mission

To build one of India’s largest retail franchise that is admired for.

THE LEARNING Begins...

The journey of AU Small Finance Bank (incorporated as L.N. Finco Gems Pvt. Ltd.) was started by Mr. Sanjay Agarwal, a Rank Holder CA and a first generation entrepreneur who began with...

...no money,
no business plan and
no clients.

His self-belief, honesty, work ethics were different from that of others and this helped him to explore, take risks, try and grab any opportunity that came his way. He started putting his learning blocks together to set up a small business. Over time, people acknowledged that here was an entrepreneur with a ‘can do’ attitude.

ROLLING THE PITCH...

The Company became a Direct Sales Associate of various banks such as HDFC Bank, Citibank, among others, to do financing business.

Learnt the mechanics of finance.

The Company firmly adhered to its values of building relationships with a personalised touch and, most importantly, ‘financing with responsibility’ because the money of HNIs and Banks could not be lost.

CHANGING
GEARS…

The Company become a Channel Business partner for HDFC Bank in Rajasthan.

The industry noticed us.

The values, credit ethos and processes of a good financial institution were ingrained in us in these years. It made us believe that opportunities in Financial Services were immense. We needed to be straightforward and transparent with an eye for detail.

THE PLATFORM READY TO SCALE…

Channel business expertise, good governance, faith of global marquee investors and a robust business model propelled the turbine of success. With strong execution, we expanded our operations to new geographies, added products and developed a professional team.

Multifold increase in Balance Sheet size.

With the right DNA and strong execution capabilities, our faith became stronger that scale and size is just a number and opportunities are immense in the financial service space. We just needed to apply ourselves sensibly.

SMALL IS THE NEW BIG

Small Finance Bank guidelines were announced in November 2014. We read it and immediately realised that we fitted in perfectly within this carefully designed proposition.

Received the RBI License for a Small Finance Bank.

The Company, Au Financiers (India) Limited, a systemically Important NBFC, applied for the Small Finance Bank License and in September 2015, we received the in-principal approval from the RBI. The whole team was ecstatic and on top of the world.

On 20th December 2016, the RBI issued us the prestigious Small Finance Bank (SFB) license. We were the only Asset Finance Company to receive the SFB license.

BUILDING A BANK U ALWAYS WANTED…

Building a Bank was a natural progression for us, and a hard-earned extension of the relentless work of serving the financial needs of millions of unserved and underserved people for over two decades.

Grand commencement of a Bank and successful listing on NSE and BSE.

AU Small Finance Bank received a Scheduled Bank status in November 2017 and became a Fortune India 500 Company in the very first year of starting its banking operations. Our core fibre of Six Dharmas and following them religiously brought us here. As a young, energetic and customer-centric institution, we will continue to challenge the status quo and usher in new age banking with simplicity and convenience.
