Union Bank of India's West Bengal positioning.
Union Bank operates 410+ branches across West Bengal with Kolkata Salt Lake, New Town Rajarhat, and Howrah as primary corridors. The bank competes with UCO, Bank of Baroda, and SBI for the Bengali salaried PSU customer with rates 8.50-8.85% and active state government payroll tie-ups.
Kolkata's Salt Lake Sector V and New Town Rajarhat IT corridor employs 200K+ tech workers across TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, IBM, and PwC — Union Bank captures roughly 15% of this salary segment via direct corporate tie-ups. West Bengal's 6% stamp duty (5% stamp + 1% registration; 4% for properties under 25L) is moderate, making Howrah and North 24 Parganas affordable for first-time buyers under 35L tickets. The bank's women-buyer rebate combined with WB stamp duty makes joint applications with wife as first owner the standard structure. Union's legacy Corporation Bank network gives strong Coochbehar and Siliguri tier-2 coverage that UCO Bank doesn't match.
