"Reaching to five crore customers in a short span of 3 years speaks of the success of this model of providing cost – effective, simple, easy and secure digital ecosystem, particularly to rural India. We are happy that we could empower rural women too, to avail the banking services at their doorsteps," said Vineet Pandey, Secretary, Department of Posts.

The focus of India Post Payments Bank has been on youth. Over 41 per cent of account holders are in the age group of 18 to 35 years.

India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) has been established under the Department of Posts, Ministry of Communication with 100 per cent equity owned by the Government of India.

"The Bank is able to scale its customer acquisition on a fully digital and paperless banking platform serving people at their doorstep.
