Bandhan Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Centrum Finverse Limited, the full-service brokerage arm of the Centrum Group, to launch an integrated 3-in-1 account that combines banking, demat and trading services on a single platform.
The collaboration aims to simplify the investment journey for customers by offering a seamless, paperless account-opening process supported by Bandhan Bank’s extensive branch network and digital platforms. Through the unified platform, customers will gain access to a wide range of investment opportunities, including equities, IPOs, derivatives, ETFs and indices, along with advanced trading features such as chart-based execution, algorithmic strategies and margin leverage.
The move comes amid growing retail participation in India’s capital markets and rising digital adoption among investors. By combining Centrum Finverse’s technology-driven investment platform with Bandhan Bank’s customer base, the two firms aim to deliver a secure and user-friendly wealth creation ecosystem.
Bandhan Bank MD and CEO ParthaPratimSengupta said the partnership aligns with the bank’s focus on making financial services more accessible, inclusive and convenient. He noted that integrated solutions would help customers across geographies participate more confidently in wealth creation.
Centrum Group Executive Chairman JaspalBindra said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to democratizing investment opportunities while ensuring security and service excellence.
In Kolkata, the launch is expected to strengthen access to digital investment products in eastern India, where retail investors are increasingly seeking integrated banking and trading solutions. The initiative could further accelerate participation in financial markets among customers in semi-urban and emerging growth centres.
Bandhan Bank, which began operations as a universal bank in August 2015, currently serves nearly 3.2 crore customers through more than 6,350 banking outlets across 35 states and Union Territories. As of March 31, 2026, the bank reported deposits of Rs 1.66 lakh crore and advances exceeding Rs 1.54 lakh crore.
