Difference
The IFSC Code of Canara Bank and Syndicate Bank are different. The Canara Bank code starts with CNRB while the Syndicate Bank code starts with SYNB. In such a situation, customers of Syndicate Bank will have to use the new IFSC code.
New Code
The new IFSC codes can be obtained by visiting the website – canarabank.com – or the Canara Bank branch. The customer care of Canara Bank can also be contacted on 18004250018.
The new IFSC code will now start with CNRB instead of SYNB. One also needs to add 10000 to their existing IFSC code number. For example, if the previous IFSC code was SYNB 0003687, now the changed IFSC code would be CNRB 0013687.
