Lender on Saturday said it will now be known as IDFC First Bank.

"We hereby inform you that the name of the bank has been changed from IDFC Bank Limited to 'IDFC First Bank Limited' w.e.f. January 12, 2019 by virtue of 'Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to change of name' issued by the Registrar of Companies, Chennai," the company said in a filing to the BSE.

Last month, the lender's merger with non banking finance company (NBFC) Capital First took effect following the lodging of the relevant NCLT order with the Registrar of Companies.
