RBI Deputy Governor Highlights Cyber Risks Facing Small Urban Co-operative Banks
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Swaminathan J highlighted that urban co-operative banks (UCBs), despite their smaller size, face significant risks from cyber threats, digital fraud, and reliance on external service providers. He emphasized that these risks extend beyond their physical presence and urged UCBs to strengthen technology safeguards, continuity planning, and shared infrastructure. Swaminathan noted that cyber attackers do not differentiate by bank size, and smaller UCBs may lack resources to manage complex digital risks effectively.
