The Bank was registered under the Co-operative Societies Act in the year 1952 and started functioning from April, 1953.

The late Shri B.K. Patel, I.C.S., Ex. Municipal Commissioner, was the principal architect of this Institution which he founded in 1952. Shri Patel with his high sense of public service gathered around him a band of selfless Municipal employees and convinced them that through Co-operative effort Municipal employees could help not only themselves and others in financial difficulties, but could also educate and help them in building up credit.
