The bank's growth was hindered by various restrictions imposed by regulators in the matter of area of operation, opening of Branches, etc. It successfully faced all the challenges and is standing tall with its area of operation extended to the entire State of Goa. Managed by highly dedicated team of well qualified, experienced Directors and actively supported by qualified and enthusiastic Officers and Staff, the Bank is marching forward to reach new heights.
