Federal Bank approves $500M MTN Programme for bonds issuance
Federal Bank's Board approved a USD 500 million medium-term note programme. The bank will issue secured/unsecured bonds and foreign currency notes. Securities will be listed on international exchanges.
The establishment of a USD 500 million MTN program is a substantial financial decision that can impact the bank's capital structure and funding costs, thus having a medium-term impact.
The approval of a significant medium-term note program indicates a positive step towards strengthening the bank's financial resources and expanding its funding options.
The Board of Directors of The Federal Bank Limited has approved modifications to its previously granted approval, authorizing the establishment of a medium-term note (MTN) programme with an aggregate amount not exceeding USD 500 million. This programme allows for the offer, issue, and allotment of secured or unsecured bonds, including foreign currency notes, in one or more tranches.
These securities will be offered to eligible investors through various branches, including the head office and the banking unit in GIFT City. The Bank also plans to list these securities on international stock exchanges, such as the India International Exchange (IFSC) Limited and/or NSE IFSC Limited.
The board meeting commenced at 02:50 pm and concluded at 03:35 pm on September 17, 2026. This strategic move aims to enhance the bank's funding capabilities and diversify its financing avenues.
