Empowering Tellicherry since 1937

Established in the heart of Tellicherry, Tellicherry Co-operative Urban Bank Ltd has been a pillar of financial empowerment and cooperative values since its inception on 19 January 1937. Registered as a Co-operative Society under No. 1005, the bank was founded with the vision of fostering inclusive banking and promoting socio-economic growth in the region.

Marking a significant milestone, the bank received its RBI Licence on 15 December 1986, enabling it to expand its services under formal banking regulations. Further strengthening its governance and accountability, the bank’s audit operations came under the direct control of the Reserve Bank of India on 1 April 2020.

From modest beginnings, we have grown into a trusted financial institution offering a comprehensive range of services for individuals, families, and small businesses. Guided by cooperative banking principles, we remain committed to financial inclusion—especially for those traditionally underserved by mainstream banks.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to deliver reliable, secure, and affordable financial services while nurturing the spirit of cooperation and community welfare. We strive to enable economic self-reliance by supporting aspirations through accessible banking, innovative digital solutions, and responsible lending.

Over the years, we have played a transformative role in the community—supporting local entrepreneurs, encouraging a culture of savings, enabling home ownership, and contributing to education and healthcare initiatives.

With a growing customer base, modern infrastructure, and a dedicated team, Tellicherry Co-operative Urban Bank Ltd stands firmly rooted in the community while embracing technology and progressive policies to meet the evolving financial needs of the future.
