Indian Bank introduced three digital banking solutions at the Global Fintech Fest 2026 on September 10. The public sector bank launched AI-TARA, Smart Wealth, and IND Cash Optima as part of its strategy to expand digital services for retail, corporate, and institutional customers.
The new products cover voice-based banking, personal finance management, and digital cash management. The bank stated that these services aim to make banking more accessible while giving customers additional ways to manage their finances through digital platforms.
AI-TARA Voice Banking in 10 Languages
Indian Bank unveiled AI-TARA, which stands for Trusted AI Relationship Assistant, as a conversational banking service. Customers can use voice commands to complete selected banking tasks in 10 languages. These services include fund transfers, IMPS transactions, and fixed deposit creation.
The bank designed AI-TARA to assist customers who may find standard mobile banking applications difficult to use. Senior citizens and people with limited digital experience are among the customer groups expected to benefit from the voice-based service.
Indian Bank MD and CEO Binod Kumar said, “At Indian Bank, we are leveraging technology to make banking simpler, more accessible and responsive to evolving customer needs.”
He added, “Our voice banking solution, ‘AI-TARA’, is aimed at bringing senior citizens and customers with limited digital expertise who may face challenges in navigating conventional banking applications into the digital banking ecosystem.”
Kumar noted that voice commands allow customers to access key banking services without relying solely on conventional app navigation.
Smart Wealth Combines Financial Accounts and Investments
Indian Bank also presented Smart Wealth, a personal finance management service available through its IndSMART platform. The module provides customers with a consolidated view of their financial holdings across different products.
Customers can view bank accounts, mutual funds, fixed deposits, equities, exchange-traded funds, and National Pension System investments through the service. Smart Wealth also offers spending analytics and personalized financial information based on the customer’s financial portfolio.
By consolidating different financial products into one platform, Indian Bank aims to reduce the need for customers to check multiple accounts or investment services separately. The bank has positioned the service as part of its broader digital banking offering for retail customers.
The Smart Wealth launch adds another personal finance feature to IndSMART as Indian Bank expands its digital channels. The service focuses on account visibility, portfolio tracking, and spending information within a single banking platform.
IND Cash Optima Targets Corporate Cash Management
For corporate and institutional customers, Indian Bank unveiled IND Cash Optima, a digital cash management platform. The service combines several functions used by businesses to manage collections, payments, and financial records.
IND Cash Optima supports digital collections, paperless corporate onboarding, mobile-based cash management, and invoice-to-payment services. The bank stated that the platform gives businesses better visibility over transactions while supporting faster reconciliation of payments and financial records.
Indian Bank introduced the platform as companies increasingly adopt digital systems to manage cash flows and payment processes. The bank has integrated multiple corporate banking functions into one digital service to reduce manual processes and improve access to transaction information.
Speaking about the overall product launch, Kumar said, “The solutions showcased at GFF reflect our focus on combining innovation with convenience, inclusion and an enhanced customer experience.”
The launch of AI-TARA, Smart Wealth, and IND Cash Optima expands Indian Bank’s digital banking services across both personal and business banking. The bank presented all three solutions at Global Fintech Fest 2026 as part of its technology-led banking strategy.
