Vijaya Bank has signed a MoU with Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), set up by the Centre for issuing unique identity numbers.

With the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) yesterday, Vijaya Bank has become a partner in the efforts of UIDAI, Vijaya Bank Chairman and Managing Director Albert Tauro said in a statement today.

As a registrar, the bank could enroll residents in the UID project and assist the authority during various stages of the project, Tauro added.

The bank would set up a core team to oversee the implementation of UID project in the identified places and districts in co-ordination with other constituents, account holders, technology providers, BC Service Providers and other associates of Vijaya Bank.

Vijaya Bank plans to dovetail its Financial Inclusion Plan with the UID enrolment for new customers.

It would also facilitate issuance of Aadhaar numbers for its existing customers which will enable the Bank to provide Aadhaar based services across various delivery channels like Micro ATMs.
