It started its operations with INR 10 lakh and 28 staff members. In 1969, the Bank of Baroda underwent nationalization along with 13 other prominent banks in India, which was a crucial step by the government to exert control over the banking sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the Bank of Baroda was merged with Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank, forming one of the largest public sector banks in India, with branches and subsidiaries spread across numerous countries, such as the UK, the US, the Middle East, and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canara-bank-an-overview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canara_Bank_%E2%80%93_An_Overview\"><\/span>Canara Bank \u2013 An Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/stocks\/canara-bank\">Canara Bank<\/a> is a major Indian public sector bank with its headquarters in Bangalore, Karnataka.

In 1961, the bank acquired the Bank of Kerala and Seasia Midland Bank. Canara Bank was nationalized along with 13 other major banks in India as part of the government\u2019s efforts to control the banking sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank has 13 subsidiaries or sponsored institutions in India and abroad. As of June 2024, Canara Bank services over 11.42 crore customers through a network of 9,627 branches and 12,256 ATMs\/Recycler spread across all Indian states and Union Territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
