About two weeks after opening, the Bharatiya Mahila Bank is receiving a good demand for loans, a stream that will eventually bring revenues and fees. While most of the demand has come from women belonging to places without banks and those who are self-employed, several working professionals have also approached for home loans. This indeed is music to the ears of the bank staff. But it comes with the challenge of mobilising deposits. An executive, who came on board through direct recruitment, says that having heard about the launch of the Mahila Bank, people even from distant places are showing an interest in loans.
