About Union Bank of India

About this branch

The branch is located at VARAMPATHANATHU CHAITRAM SHOP NO 76C 76D KAKKANAD JUNCTIONERUVA PO KAYAMKULAM ALLAPUZHA DIST KERALA. It serves the Kayamkulam region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Union Bank of India. The IFSC UBIN0916242 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Union Bank of India 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 PATHIYOOR of Union Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UBIN0916242 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 UBIN0916242 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

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.
