The story

Karur Vysya Bank was founded on 25 July 1916 by M. A. Venkatarama Chettiar and Athi Krishna Chettiar to serve the banking requirements of traders and agricultural communities in and around Karur, Tamil Nadu. The institution gradually expanded beyond its regional base and developed into a pan-India banking network over the following decades.

The bank's centenary celebrations were held in 2016 in Chennai, and were attended by the then President of India, Pranab Mukherjee.
