Arekere branch overview

Located at NEAR BASAVESHWARA HIGH SCHOOL, , AREKERE VILLAGE, JAVAGAL HOBLI , ARSIKERE, HASSAN , AREKERE , 573125, the Arekere branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable.

Why every Bank of Baroda branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including AREKERE of Bank of Baroda — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BARB0VJAREK is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC BARB0VJAREK the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How to transfer money using IFSC BARB0VJAREK

UPI payments and IFSC BARB0VJAREK

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Bank of Baroda – AREKERE is still mapped to IFSC BARB0VJAREK. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC BARB0VJAREK and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
