Pandyan Bank was a private sector bank that S.N.K. Sundaram established at Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on 11 December 1946.[1] In 1963 Canara Bank acquired Pandyan Bank.
The bank introduced innovations such as plastic pouches for savings bank pass-books. More importantly, it created an all-women's branch at Town Hall Road in Madurai in 1947, staffed by ten women, one of whom was Kamala Sundaram, S.N.K. Sundaram's daughter.[2]
The merger with Canara Bank took effect on 2 December 1963. At the time of the acquisition, Pandyan Bank had 83 branches,[1] and 800 staff.
