    • Regional Rural Banks were introduced by the government to support cooperative banks in the rural areas. They were introduced to provide credit facilities to weaker sections.
    • Foreign Banks are banks that have their branches in different countries with their headquarters in their own country.
    1. The Unorganised Sector of financial institutions included Indigenous bankers and money lenders.
    • Indigenous Bankers are financial middlemen but private owners or firms which operate as banks.
    • Money Lenders play with their own funds. They are both professional and unprofessional ones which can be rural or urban based.
