About the bank

Canara Bank serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Ikri branch in Ikri, Uttar Pradesh is part of this network and uses the IFSC code CNRB0018790 for all electronic settlement.

About this branch

The branch is located at IKRI MEERUT. It serves the Ikri region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Canara Bank. The IFSC CNRB0018790 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Canara Bank 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 IKRI of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0018790 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 CNRB0018790 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 CNRB0018790

Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Ikri

The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC CNRB0018790:

• NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
• RTGS — best for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above; settles each transaction individually in real time.
• IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at IKRI is still linked to IFSC CNRB0018790.

For salary credits, vendor payouts and refunds, employers and merchants usually default to NEFT because of its zero per-transaction cost for retail customers and its 24x7 availability.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC.
