About this branch

The branch is located at 6 BY 601 FFRL COMPLEX EAST BAZAR TIRUR PIN 676101. It serves the Tirur region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Indian Overseas Bank. The IFSC IOBA0001264 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Indian Overseas 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 TIRUR of Indian Overseas Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IOBA0001264 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 IOBA0001264 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 IOBA0001264

NEFT to Indian Overseas Bank, TIRUR using IFSC IOBA0001264

National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC IOBA0001264, and confirm that the system picks up Indian Overseas Bank – TIRUR. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC IOBA0001264

RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to Indian Overseas Bank – TIRUR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC IOBA0001264 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

All three modes accept the IFSC IOBA0001264 for Indian Overseas Bank – TIRUR, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

For most retail customers crediting the Tirur branch, NEFT or IMPS will be the quickest and most economical option. RTGS comes in for one-off, high-value movements such as property purchases, vendor settlements or large gifts.

UPI payments and IFSC IOBA0001264

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 Indian Overseas Bank – TIRUR is still mapped to IFSC IOBA0001264. 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 IOBA0001264 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Indian Overseas Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC IOBA0001264 and the account number together uniquely identify the Tirur branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
