ESAF Small Finance Bank History

ESAF Small Finance Bank (ESAF SFB) isn’t just a financial institution; it’s a story of transformation, woven into the fabric of India’s rural and semi-urban communities. Let’s embark on a journey through ESAF’s remarkable history, tracing its evolution from a humble NGO to a leading force in financial inclusion.

Humble Beginnings: Seeds of Change (1992)

The year was 1992, and the winds of change were sweeping across India. Inspired by the success of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, social entrepreneur K. Paul Thomas envisioned a similar path for India’s underserved communities. Thus, the Evangelical Social Action Forum (ESAF) was born, an NGO dedicated to empowering the poor and marginalized through microfinance.

Taking Root: From NGO to Microfinance Pioneer (1995-2008)

ESAF didn’t waste time. In 1995, they launched their Micro Enterprises Development (MED) services, providing small loans and financial literacy programs to budding entrepreneurs. This marked the genesis of ESAF’s microfinance journey, soon blossoming into ESAF Microfinance and Investments Pvt. Ltd. in 2008.

Branching Out: From Microfinance to Small Finance Bank (2015-2017)

ESAF’s impact couldn’t be ignored. Recognizing its significant contribution to rural development, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) granted ESAF an in-principle license to establish a Small Finance Bank in 2015. Two years later, on March 10, 2017, ESAF Small Finance Bank officially commenced operations, marking a pivotal moment in its history.

Blooming Across India: Spreading the Wings of Financial Inclusion (Present)

Since then, ESAF SFB has blossomed. With over 700 branches spanning 21 states and 2 Union Territories, it has become a beacon of financial hope for millions. The bank’s diverse product portfolio, ranging from microloans to housing loans, caters to the varied needs of its customers, empowering them to build better lives.

ESAF Small Finance Bank Working Hours

The working hours of ESAF Small Finance Bank can vary depending on the location and type of branch. However, here’s a general guideline:

Typical Branch Hours:

  • Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Saturday: The second Saturday is typically off, but the fourth Saturday might also be a holiday in some regions or specific branches.
  • Sunday: Closed

Exceptions:

  • Some branches might have extended hours on weekdays, staying open until 6:00 PM or even 7:00 PM.
  • Some branches might open on Sundays for limited hours, especially during peak season or for specific events.
  • Some branches might have different schedules during holidays or festivals.

Finding Branch-Specific Hours:

To get the most accurate information about the working hours of a specific ESAF branch, you can:

  • Check the branch’s website or notice board: Most branches display their working hours and holidays prominently.
  • Contact the branch directly: You can call the branch or send an email to inquire about their working hours.
