Karnataka Bank Ltd. has evolved with the advancement in the banking technologies in the country. Customers of Karnataka Bank can avail the facilities of electronic fund transfer. Now, the power of internet banking allows you to make payments virtually, without having to move an inch. Right from your living room, using your computer or phone, you can send money from your account at Karnataka Bank to another account, anywhere in India. Electronic Fund Transfer introduced by the RBI in the country has made cheques, demand drafts and stamps obsolete. The purpose of introducing these paperless transfers online was to hasten the process and make it as flaw-free as possible.
There are two main types of electronic money transfer that Karnataka Bank offers: National Electronic Financial Transfer (NEFT) and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS). Apart from these two modes, the bank also offers Western Union Money Transfer for international transfers.
Indian Financial System Code is a code which is given by RBI as a unique identification to each bank and all its branches. It is in an alpha-numeric format and contains 11 characters. This code helps in the identification of the source as well as the destination bank in an electronic fund transfer process. It is very important to provide the IFSC codes in a NEFT/RTGS transfer as without the code, neither of the processes can take place.
The IFSC code’s 11 characters hold the identification of the bank as well as a particular branch. The first set of 4 characters represent the bank name, the 5th character is zero (0) and the last set comprising of 6 characters identify the branch of the bank. The 5th character is left as zero to be used later.
Example of a Karnataka Bank IFSC Code is: KARB0000369.
This code belongs to the Jabalpur branch of Karnataka Bank in Madhya Pradesh. Here, ‘KARB’ represents the name of the bank, which is Karnataka Bank and ‘000369’ denotes ‘Jabalpur’ branch.
Karnataka Bank’s IFSC and MICR Codes can be found on the cheque leaves of the cheque book of the bank. The codes of all its branches can be found online in a number of websites. RBI has a tab on its homepage that directly takes you to a window where you are asked to input the bank name from the drop-down menu and enter the branch name manually. It gives you all the necessary details of the queried bank branch, including the IFSC and MICR codes, address and also phone number.
There are also some other websites, namely BankBazaar that give comprehensive information on all banks that are a part of the NEFT/RTGS network. If you visit the BankBazaar’s website, you will find a tab ‘Bank IFSC Code’. Clicking on this tab will give you the IFSC and MICR codes of any branch of any bank. The site requires some basic information about the bank in order to answer your query. Once you enter details like Bank name, State District and Branch Name, you can find the IFSC, MICR codes of the specific bank branch you are searching for.
Using electronic fund transfer channels you can not only settle your payments faster, but keep it flawless and secure. There are fewer tensions and lesser time taken when you opt for NEFT/RTGS for transferring your funds online. Both modes are speedy, however RTGS is a relatively faster channel than NEFT.
