India’s largest public sector lender, the State Bank of India (SBI), has reached a remarkable milestone by becoming the bank with the highest number of branches in the country, operating over 22,000 branches across urban, semi-urban, and rural regions.
The achievement reinforces SBI’s position as the backbone of India’s banking infrastructure, serving over 48 crore customers and playing a pivotal role in financial inclusion, economic development, and digital banking outreach.
“This network isn’t just a number — it’s a commitment to reaching every Indian, from bustling metros to the most remote villages,” said an SBI spokesperson.
SBI’s vast presence has allowed it to support flagship government initiatives like Jan Dhan Yojana, Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT), and agriculture and MSME lending schemes, making it a trusted financial partner for millions.
The bank’s focus on blending traditional banking with digital innovation — through platforms like YONO, mobile banking, and ATM networks — has further solidified its reach and reliability.
