Awards and achievements

Activities

The co-operative society business activities mainly are in warehouse loan business, gold loan business, industrial finance, infrastructure finance business, housing loan and vehicle loans, individual loan business, and education loans. Lending is not be the sole business of any credit union; it must do something for members.

The Credit Society's principles, or breakout innovations are:

  1. Four Pillar System - all the money in the world goes to banks.
  2. Social banking - people's money should be utilized for well being of people.

Technology use

To handle business for its 700,000 customers scattered in four states and 5,000 employees, its branches are connected by a core banking network, a data center and core banking software. It provides facilities for debit card, internet banking and mobile valet to customers, as well as real time money transfer and online warehousing. In India, the banking sector is still lagging behind the developed world, so to reach unbanked people in Buldana Urban, it has started a mobile banking van.

The society has a tie up with Yes Bank for a doorstep service, called Nano Teller, through which the society's employee provide customers to deposit or withdraw up to INR from their savings account. In 2012, the service was started in Pune.[8]
