Corporation Bank is an Indian bank based in Mangalore, Karnataka. The bank was founded in the year 1906 at a town named Udupi in Karnataka with an investment of just Rs. 5000. A group of enthusiasts including Khan Bahadur Haji Abdulla Haji Kasim Saheb Bahadur were the founders of the bank. Interestingly, Udupi was not much far from Mangalore, and the banking needs of the people were being solely controlled by some local rich individuals. Hence, to find a way out of the existing monopoly of the money lenders, Corporation Bank was established with the initial name ‘The Canara Banking Corporation (Udupi) Ltd’.
