With a single-minded focus on product leadership, customer focus and operational excellence, the bank has accomplished this, emerging as a leading player in all its business segments.

It was recognized as India's Most Valuable Brand for 5 consecutive years in a study conducted by Kantar, a research agency of the WPP group. HDFC Bank today is a front runner in the digital banking space. It has established itself as a full-service digital bank, with the launch of its ‘Go Digital - Bank Aapki Muthhi Mein' campaign on the banks of the Varanasi. Since then, the bank has launched a slew of innovative products including the 10-second Personal Loan or payment apps like Payzapp, which place the power of banking in the hands of the customer. HDFC Bank is also taking its branch network deeper into the hinterland, with 53% of its branches located in rural and semi-urban areas. HDFC Bank is extremely proud of its People, the integrity and ethics that they demonstrate and the culture that promotes these values.
