Mumbai, April 8, 2016: Federal Bank, the Indian Banking major in the private sector, entered into a strategic partnership with Phillip Capital (India) Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Singapore headquartered Phillip Capital group, for managing NRI Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS). The tie-up was announced at a customer meet held at Hotel Conrad Centennial, Singapore on 7th of April 2016. On the occasion, Mr. Shyam Srinivasan, MD & CEO, Federal Bank, and Mr. Lim Hua Min, Chairman of Phillip Capital Group, Singapore exchanged the MoU announcing the tie-up.
