Small finance banks are a specific segment of banking that caters to the un-served and underserved segments of society. These banks do not operate as full-fledged commercial banks and their services are limited to primarily undertaking basic banking activities such as acceptance of deposits and lending.
Some of the customers of these banks are small business units, small and marginal farmers, and micro and small enterprises.
