Whilst the bank’s heritage in the UK began in wholesale banking, with the first branch opened in 1921, it has successfully launched a retail offering in recent years.
The State Bank of India UK has opened its renovated Manchester branch in larger premises.
Launching with a new look and feel, the refreshed Manchester branch cements SBI UK’s high street presence while enabling greater access to the bank’s suite of products.
SBI UK remains committed to the UK market as it plans to subsidiarise and continue with its retail expansion that is expected to spur investment and generate jobs in the coming years.
Mr Sanjiv Chadha, regional head said: “The ongoing development of our UK branch network is part of SBI’s growth strategy.
"The new look and feel of our branches in the UK has been designed with our customers’ needs in mind and helps us cater to them face to face efficiently and smoothly.
The branch in Manchester is located at Albert Square.
