The Founder's values and ethos based on trust got embedded in the Bank's policies and principles which reflect on its day-to-day business. CSR in Federal Bank began with the first act of cultivating banking habits in an agrarian society - to effectively utilize idle money for productive purposes.

[20] ‘Sanjeevani’ mission is to build awareness, encourage screening and testing for Cancer.
