Bank of Baroda

About

Bank of Baroda (BoB) was founded in 1908 by Sayajirao Gaekwad III, the then Maharaja of Baroda. Though it is headquartered in Vadodara, its corporate headquarter is in Mumbai and it was the first Indian bank to have mobile branches. Debadatta Chand is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the bank, overseeing more than 8000 domestic branches across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas. Additionally, it has 84 branches overseas that provide services like retail banking, loans, insurance, corporate banking, mutual funds, and more. BoB’s services are primarily applied to personal, business, and agricultural sectors. The bank was part of the first tripartite bank amalgamation in India when it merged with Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank in 2019.
