In April, 1965, two other local banks viz., 'The City Forward Bank Limited' and 'The Union Bank Limited' were amalgamated with the Bank under a scheme of amalgamation with the resultant addition of six more branches viz., Kumbakonam-Town, Nannilam, Koradacherry, Tiruvidaimarudur, Tirupanandal and Kuttalam. Consequently, the Bank's name was changed to 'The Kumbakonam City Union Bank Limited'.

In November 1965, the bank's first branch at Madras was opened at Thiyagaraya Nagar. In May, 1969 the Bank secured the services of Shri. O.R. Srinivasan, a former Officer   of Reserve Bank of India to be at the helm of affairs as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer which event proved to be a turning point in the annals of the Bank.

In April, 1974 the bank secured the services of Shri. K.Srinivasan, another  former Senior Officer of Reserve Bank of India, as its Secretary.  At that time, a Young Chartered Accountant from Thippirajapuram village near Kumbakonam,   Shri.

During the period 1974-1976 Branches were opened at Periyakulam, Mandaveli (Madras), Pattukkottai, Triplicane (Madras), Cuddalore, Pudukkottai, Chidambaram and Salem.
