Kakinada Cooperative Town Bank has reduced its lending rates from July 1. Chairman Chitturi Ravindra said the move was aimed at generating additional revenues on its funds.

Its loan portfolio stood at about Rs 200 crore while deposits were at Rs 340 crore. It is now offering housing loans at 12.50 per cent interest, charging 14.75 per cent on mortgage loans (earlier 15.75%), and 13.5 per cent on gold loans (14.25 per cent).

The bank would open its 15th branch at Gajuwaka in Visakhapatnam district in September, he said.
