Karur Vysya Bank launches cybersecurity awareness initiative with a commitment to responsible banking
J. Swaminathan, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, remotely flagged off the initiative on the occasion of KVB's 109th Founder's Day in Karur on Saturday. A large number of customers, members of the Board of Directors, and employees of the bank were present.
The initiative will reach diverse sections of society through mass media campaigns, offline and branch activations, and specially curated workshops across schools, colleges, workplaces, residential communities, and senior citizen forums — creating awareness across all age groups, from students and working professionals to home makers and retirees.
Ramesh Babu, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Karur Vysya Bank, said it was founded with a simple yet profound purpose to serve with integrity, prudence, and care. The Founder's Day was not only to honour the banking institution's past but also reflected its commitment to a safe digital future.
'Through our comprehensive cybersecurity awareness programme, we aim to educate and empower every section of society to stay vigilant and secure in today's digital world. As we look ahead, we remain committed to growing responsibly while upholding the same integrity and trust that have defined KVB since its inception,' Mr. Ramesh Babu said.
Mr. Swaminathan said the Founder's Day was a celebration of vision, resolve, and quiet determination — a tribute to those who chose to build a lasting institution in the face of uncertainty. Lasting success was built not on chance or scale, but on careful thought and considered action. Resources must be used with discipline. Tools must be model and well-governed. The KVB in the 109 years since its founding had honoured those principles in many ways. But the road ahead would be more complex, more competitive and more demanding. The institutions that would lead in this environment were not those that move fast, but those that move with clarity, with courage, and with conviction, Mr. Swaminathan added.
The Founder's Day celebration featured the unveiling of a specially curated 'brand bran', capturing Karur Vysya Bank's journey over the past 109 years.

Rupee posts marginal gains amid tariff jitters; ends at 87.54/$
Indian Rupee ended higher on Friday, even after it lost some ground in the latter part of the session on tariff concerns and rising dollar index. The domestic currency closed 6 paise higher at 87.54 against the dollar on Friday, according to Bloomberg. During the session, it rose to 87.23 levels, just a day after a record closing low. The currency depreciated by 2.14 per cent in July, the highest monthly fall since September 2023. The latest US tariff tweak includes a base levy of 10 per cent and 15 per cent or higher rates for countries with trade surpluses with the US. However, Canada was hit with a 35 per cent tariff, while Mexico's was delayed by another 90 days. These new rates are set to take effect after midnight on August 7. This episode came a day after Trump imposed a 25 per cent levy on Indian goods, and threatened further penalties for its imports of Russian energy. However, India remains firm on its Russia ties with a broad consensus on avoiding retaliation and resorting to negotiations. The dollar index, the measure of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.25 per cent at 100.22. Back home, the central government's fiscal deficit stood at 17.9 per cent of the full-year target at the end of June. It was at 8.4 per cent of the Budget Estimates (BE) of 2024-25 in the first three months of the previous financial year. This marks a sharp rise compared to 8.4 per cent in the same period last year, driven by slower tax collections and higher interest payments, analysts said. If the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) continues to manage volatility, the rupee could strengthen toward the 87.00 level, Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. However, sustained central bank presence will be key to keeping the currency within a narrow range.
