IDFC FIRST Bank

IDFC FIRST Bank is a private sector bank headquartered in Mumbai, India. The bank was formed through the merger of IDFC Bank and Capital First in December 2018, creating a new-generation bank with a strong focus on retail banking. As of 2024, IDFC FIRST Bank operates over 800 branches and 900 ATMs across India, serving millions of customers with a comprehensive range of banking and financial services.

The bank emerged from IDFC Limited, an infrastructure finance company established in 1997, which received banking approval from the Reserve Bank of India in 2014. After the merger with Capital First, IDFC FIRST Bank shifted its strategic focus from infrastructure financing to retail banking, targeting retail, rural, and MSME segments.
