In a significant move to redefine banking in India, slice has launched its second UPI-powered bank branch in Gurugram, expanding its footprint in the region. This development follows the successful introduction of India's first UPI-integrated physical banking experience in Bengaluru earlier this summer.
With a focus on an intuitive and seamless banking experience, the Gurugram branch embodies slice's commitment to modernizing banking services. Customers can now enjoy features such as instantaneous account opening, cash withdrawals and deposits at slice’s UPI ATMs, and various other banking services—all designed to make the banking process as straightforward as using UPI.
"At slice, we're building for a future where banking feels effortless, whether it's on your phone or at a branch near you," said Rajan Bajaj, Founder and Executive Director of slice. He emphasized the target demographic of Gurugram, stating, "Gurugram represents the future of urban India. It's young, aspirational, and digital-first. With this new UPI-powered branch, we're turning a traditionally slow and complex experience into something fast, intuitive, and built for real life."
Customers visiting the Gurugram branch will find that they can open a savings account quickly through self-service digital kiosks. Accessing banking services such as fixed deposits and credit has also been made simpler, and the slice UPI ATM allows transactions without the need for traditional banking details like an account number or debit card. By merely scanning a QR code and inputting the desired transaction amount, users can complete their banking tasks effortlessly.
Following its merger with North East Small Finance Bank, slice has evolved into a full-stack bank, building its own core banking systems and ATM networks from the ground up. This expansion aligns with slice's ambition to establish a technology-driven, UPI-integrated banking network that spans both urban and semi-urban areas across India.
The services offered at the new Gurugram branch include: - Full UPI integration across all services - UPI-enabled ATMs for convenient cash transactions - Instant customer onboarding with no paperwork required - Self-service kiosks for exploring various banking products
Slice SFB remains committed to serving a billion Indians, focusing on simplifying credit, enhancing savings and spending, and delivering formal financial services to every corner of the nation.
