State Bank of India (SBI) stands as the largest public sector bank in India, trusted by over 500 million customers across the nation and beyond. With a history that dates back more than two centuries, SBI has played a vital role in shaping India’s banking landscape.

SBI began its journey in 1806 as the Bank of Calcutta, later evolving into the Imperial Bank of India in 1921. In 1955, it was nationalized and renamed State Bank of India. Since then, it has grown into a global banking leader with a network of over 22,000 branches and offices across 29 countries.

Guided by its mission to deliver simple, responsive, and innovative financial solutions, SBI constantly adapts to meet the changing needs of its customers. Its vision—to be the bank of choice for a transforming India—drives its focus on financial inclusion, digital innovation, and customer satisfaction.

SBI operates with core values of service, transparency, ethics, politeness, and sustainability. These values are at the heart of every interaction, whether serving individuals, businesses, or rural communities.

With its wide reach and deep commitment to inclusive growth, State Bank of India continues to be a pillar of strength in the Indian economy and a trusted name in global banking.
