It also has offices in Dubai, London and Singapore and service associates in the Middle East region, to provide housing loans and property advisory services to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs).In the online space, HDFC reaches out to its customers through its web site (www.hdfc.com) and .mobi-site (m.hdfc.com) in the mobile space.

Mission of .HDFC
HDFC believes that the digital medium is fast-growing to become an indispensable medium for brands in the years to come. It therefore becomes imperative for HDFC to leverage our brand presence online and be technologically adept to reach out to young India.
Purpose of .HDFC
Currently, the web sites of HDFC are registered under several existing TLDs like ".com", ".in",".net" and so on, with different second level domains forvarious products and purposes. Various second level domains are registered to protect and defend the brand HDFC. Widespread possible naming conventions/ Cybersquatting in the existing TLDs may mislead any financial institutional customers to various phishing/malicious web sites, leading to online fraud. HDFC wants to have an exclusive ownership of a TLD, as it intends to have complete control on the second-level domain names to have "worldwide Uniform presence for the Brand HDFC" and provide confidence to customers by consolidating and simplifying their online identity.
Owning a TLD (.hdfc) can bring in multiple advantages and can help in building the brand equity in the following ways -
• Fully branded, owned and protected domain names
• Opportunity to showcase Brand Leadership
• First Mover advantage in the Home Loans Category
• Adds to Brand Equity and therefore complements Valuation
• Builds authenticity and trust for the brand on the Internet
• Reinforces association of products and services with the brand in the minds of consumers
• Unique brand platforms that are controlled, purposeful and relevant
• Builds customer engagement and increases long-term brand loyalty
• Shorter URLs help in top-of-mind recall for the brand
• Supplements navigation experience
• Increases geographical relevance to the brand
• Attribute-centric digital experiences can be built around second-level domains
• Aids in SEO, Search Engine efforts and optimizing media spends
• Defined URLs bring in security and adds to the confidence of online users
• Running Social Media Campaigns that brings in social relevance to the brand in the consumer space
• Building brand affinity with increased levels of customer engagement
• Enhances Online Reputation Management
• Protection against Brand Dilution
• Employee Engagement and internal communication
• Protection of Brand Goodwill
• Adaptable to numerous future innovations, businesses, services and opportunities
• Protection against likely frauds

In addition to the conventional media vehicles like the Print, Outdoors, Eventsand Exhibitions, Cable, Below-The-Line Activities etc., HDFC spends substantial amounts on the digital medium.
HDFC will be using .hdfc exclusively for its internal divisions, subsidiaries and appointed third party distributors. HDFC intends using .hdfc exclusively for its varied products and services.
