Branch details at a glance

About this branch

The branch is located at NO. 14 A1, ARCOT ROAD ,RANIPET ,TAMIL NADU PIN 632401. It serves the Ranipet region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of UCO Bank. The IFSC UCBA0003428 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every UCO 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 RANIPET of UCO Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UCBA0003428 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 UCBA0003428 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code
