What Bandhan Bank does

Private Indian bank that grew from a microfinance institution, focused on financial inclusion, microloans and retail banking.

Earns mainly from interest on loans, with a large part made as small, group-guaranteed loans to women borrowers in rural areas, which yield more but are riskier in a bad season. It has been adding secured lending, such as home and small-business loans, and merged with housing lender Gruh Finance in 2019.
