The amalgamation of two leading sector banks, Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank of India, with Punjab National Bank was carried out which was met with some best practices in place. A detailed implementation plan, efficient project management, and architectural foundation laid out by the bank helped minimize risks that arise with such a large transformation. The long-standing partnership with Infosys Finacle ensured that we were closely aligned across the change management process and proactively managed the challenges involved. Further, the bank delivered uninterrupted services to all customers by leveraging Finacle Mobile Teller to offer 14 interoperable services across our brand network. This was probably the first time in India where such an arrangement ensured that a customer from any of the 3 merging banks could go to a branch from the combined network and avail services seamlessly. As part of amalgamation, the products, processes and core systems of the 3 banks were standardized and harmonized without disrupting the service to customers. Further the amalgamation was achieved within 9 months as against the stipulated timelines of 12 months. This has been a landmark transformation for us, providing us with a robust foundation for our digital strategy and growth going forward.
