Corporation Bank IFSC Code

An alpha-numeric code is needed for transfers of funds between bank accounts in India; The Indian financial system code or the IFSC is the code required for all such transfers. This code refers to each banking branch which is participating in Indias three major payment and settlement systems: NEFT, IMPS & RTGS.

The IFSC code consists of 11 letters, the first four are alphabetical letters representing the bank name, and the branch is represented by the last six characters (normally numeric or occasionally alphabetic). Fifth, 0 (zero) is reserved for future use at the time being. The Bank IFS Code enables NEFT & RTGS to forward messages to the banks / branches of destination. This is the basic format of the IFSC Code

The IFSC shall be issued to all banks and branches by the Reserve Bank of India. The IFSC is an important factor for transfer of funds from your bank account to another bank account.

IFSC code is popular in the modern banking sector for easy cash transactions with internet money transfers gathering popularity.
