| The Bank has a very humble but a very inspiring beginning. On 14th September 1918 , "The Saraswat Co-operative Banking Society" was founded. Mr. J.K. Parulkar became its first Chairman, Mr. N.B. Thakur, the first Vice-Chairman, Mr. P.N. Warde, the first Secretary and Mr. Shivram Gopal Rajadhyaksha, the first Treasurer. These were the people with deep and abiding ideals, faith, vision, optimism and entrepreneurial skills. These dedicated men in charge of the Society had a commendable sense of service and duty imbibed in them. Even today, our honourable founders inspire a sense of awe and respect in the Bank and amongst the shareholders. The Society was initially set up to help families in distress. Its objective was to provide temporary accommodation to its members in eventualities such as weddings of dependent members of the family, repayment of debt and expenses of medical treatment etc. The Society was converted into a full-fledged Urban Co-operative Bank in the year 1933. The Bank has the unique distinction of being a witness to History. The Bank, which was originally founded in 1918, i.e. close on the heels of the Russian Revolution, also witnessed as a Society and as Bank-the First World War, the Second World War, India's freedom Movement and the glorious chapter of post-independence India. During this cataclysmic cavalcade of history, the Bank as a financial institution and its members could not of course remain unaffected by the economic consequences of the major events. The two wars in particular brought in their wake, paucities of all kinds and realities and stand by its members in distress as a solid bulwark of strength. The Founder Members and the later-day management's of the Bank continued to demonstrate their unwavering faith in the destiny of the common man and the co-operative movement and they encouraged the shareholders to save despite all odds. | |

Guardian Souharda Sahakari Bank Niyamita
The Guardian Souharda Sahakari Bank Niyamita, envisages to help all members of the society focusing chiefly on families and individuals from the middle, lower class and poor sections. This bank is especially conceived and designed to meet the needs of family segments within the communities. Family is the building block of the society and especially in India, it assumes a role of importance socially and economically. The concept of FAMILY BANKING is where a close and intimate relationship is developed between the bank and its customer as a family unit. This is possible by the bank offering specialized services to various members of the family. The four such segments that Guardian Souharda Sahakari Bank Niyamita would address are:YOUTH : The youth of our society are the heirs of the legacy of opportunities and problems that the present generation passes on to them. In order to equip them and help them succeed it is our duty to provide them with the best entrepreneurial and social environment possible. The Bank encourages thrift and enterprise among the youth. The prohibitive cost of higher education has long been a major deterrent for the poor. We provide innovative credit scheme for this purpose.WOMEN : Women in our society are an unfortunate paradox. They are revered on one hand and exploited on the other. The progress of any society in the past has always been achieved through empowerment of women. The Guardian Bank recognizes that women are the economists of most families. The Guardian Bank promote saving among housewives by organizing weekly or monthly collections on a door to door basis. The potential for developing enterprise among women is immense given timely credit and simple counseling, women can be self employed with cottage and home industries, such as process foods, pickles, papads, needlework etc. -
