MCC Bank holds Milestone Event to mark Rs 1000 crore business turnover

Mangaluru: MCC Bank Limited was founded with a capital of mere ten thousand rupees in 1912 by visionary community leader P. F. X. Saldanha as a co-operative society. Today, the bank has grown and reached a milestone of 1000 crore turnover; that too, turnover has doubled in just the past 5 years under the able leadership of dynamic youth leader Anil Lobo.

In the year 2018, the turnover of the bank was just 503 crores, and the profit was just 3 crores. Today, the Bank reached a milestone turnover of Rs. 1000 crore and recorded a profit of Rs. 10.38 crore. This indicated the all-round development of the bank in just five years, under the leadership of Anil Lobo and his dedicated team.

To record a few achievements by the team led by Anil Lobo for the past five years:

There has been considerable growth in the financial health of the bank. For the first time in the history of 112 years of the bank, NPA has dropped to 1.37% and net profit has leaped to 10.38 crore.

Expansion and setting up new branches almost stood still in 2002, with 16 branches and an area of operation confined to D.K. and Udupi Districts. Now the bank has permission to expand its area of operation to five more districts named Chikmagalur, Shimoga, Kodagu, Hasan, and Uttara Kannada.

The complete upliftment of NRI facilities at the MCC Bank has earned it the tag of the only bank in the co-operative sector in coastal Karnataka offering complete NRI facilities.

• In the 112 years of the bank, the chairman got the Sahakara Ratna from the Government of Karnataka, and Anil Lobo became the first Mangalorean Roman Catholic to get the coveted Sahakara Ratna Award.
