Some of the prominent ones among these are Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Bank of Baroda, Indian Bank, Canara Bank, and Central Bank of India. The first joint stock tank was set up in 1770 at Calcutta under European management by the name of ‘Bank of Hindustan.

The first purely Indian joint-stock bank was the ‘Oudh Commercial Bank’ which came into existence in 1889. Bank of Bengal, along with is sister banks, Bank of Bombay and Bank of Madras, set up by British East India Company, merged in 1921 to give birth to Imperial Bank of India, now known as State Bank of India.
