Little bit about Great Bank
SBI- The Banker to every Indian
The bank traces its roots to British India, to the founding in 1806 of the Bank of Calcutta, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Bank of Calcutta was merged with the other Presidency banks viz. Bombay & Madras to eventually form the Imperial Bank of India in 1921 by Royal Charter. The Imperial Bank inherited from these banks, the exclusive right to issue paper currency until the RBI assumed this role in 1935. The RBI, as per a directive of the govt. acquired a controlling stake in the Imperial Bank (a joint stock company) in 1955 and re-named it as the State Bank of India. The Govt, later on, acquired the RBI’s interest in SBI in order to avoid any conflict of interest since the RBI was the nation’s Central Banker.
In 1959, the govt. directed the SBI to take over eight former princely state-associated banks as its subsidiaries, three of which have since merged with the SBI. The SBI, with over 26,500 branches and 45000 ATMs, has the largest banking branch network in India. It also has around 130 branches overseas. With an asset base of $352 billion and $285 billion in deposits, it is a regional banking behemoth and is one of the largest financial institutions in the world. The bank engages in a gamut of services ranging from simple retail banking & insurance to mutual funds and wealth management.
State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India.
The State bank of India is 29th most reputable company in the world according to Forbes.
