Andhra Bank → Union Bank of India: what happened to the IFSC codes

Andhra Bank merged into Union Bank of India on 2020-04-01. Our archive of every release of the RBI branch list since February 2016 holds 3,190 Andhra Bank IFSC codes. For 1,088 of them (34%) we can name the Union Bank of India code that replaced it and show the evidence. For the other 2,102 we do not name one, because nothing we hold ties them to a single live branch — and we do not guess.

When the old codes left the RBI list

The merger took effect on 2020-04-01, but that is not the day the old codes stopped appearing in the RBI branch list. 3,184 of the Andhra Bank codes were still in the list in release v2.0.1, published 2021-09-15 — 17 months after the merger. They are absent from release v2.0.2 (2021-11-17) onward. The other 6 codes left the list in other releases.

The date a bank actually switched its old codes off is usually different again, and for most mergers it was announced by the bank, not the RBI. Merger dates against switch-off dates, with sources.

How we know which new code replaced an old one

• 1,088 codes by an exact address match: the address on the old record is, character for character, the address of a live Union Bank of India branch.

Where none of these holds, we name no replacement. How we decide a replacement. Confirm any replacement code with your bank before you send money.

By state

Old code to new code

Every Andhra Bank code for which we name a replacement, by state. Open a state to see its codes. The new code links to that branch's record.

The 2,102 codes without a named replacement each still have a page here with the release they were last listed in and the Union Bank of India branches in the same city. Type the code into the box above to find it.
