All BN mkt speculation seems to be headed for a burst if Uday Kotak's which in his words "sector disruption" (also later called it Creative destruction)
Media was speculating big merger or acquisition etc but nothing so far.
Apparently Kotak plans organic growth.
Instant digital bank a/c opening 24h a day, 0 balance a/c+6% int p.a and all digital transactions free......
Move towards full digitization is also a great move. It was first brought by Singapore's DBS bank. I opened Digibank account with DBS last year just by Aadhar card. The next day their guy came to my house with a finger print scanner and took my finger scan and voila my account was opened up in seconds. One negative side of DBS bank debit card is that it does not work with many international sites, especially poker and betting sides. So you have to rely on Kotak and ICICI's cards.
Meanwhile ALL PSU banks are as usually sleeping. They have no idea about digital banking. Their employees are third rate, ill-informed, their cards don't work etc. They are pathetic to the core. In the next 10-15 years mass migration of user will take place from PSU banks to private banks. I see demise of all PSU banks - and they deserve so. In the long term, share price of all PSU banks shall be zero. ALL PSU banks are Kingfisher Airlines in the making, ironically it took loan from them and run away.
