About OBC India

Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) is a customer friendly premier bank offering an entire range of modern day bouquet of products and services through its wide network of delivery channels.

OBC was founded by Sh. Lala Sohan Lal on the 19th of February 1943 at Lahore. Post Independence, the bank had to close down its branches in the newly formed Pakistan and shift its registered office from Lahore to Amritsar. The bank in a unique gesture honoured the commitments made to the depositors from Pakistan and paid every rupee to its departing customers.

The bank was nationalised on 15th of April 1980 and in 1997 OBC acquired 2 banks, Bari Doab Bank & Punjab Co-Operative bank. Further, on 14th of August 2004, Global Trust Bank (GTB) was amalgamated with OBC.

Since its inception in 1943, the bank has endeavored to constantly upgrade its gamut of products & services. Keeping in tune with the importance of digital products in modern day banking, the bank has a wide range of digital products today, namely internet banking, Mobile banking, e-wallet, OBC Batuaa.

The bank also offers customized products & services to all categories of customers, namely individual, students, salaried class & corporate and all other sections of society. Our journey has been wonderful so far and we hope the continued patronage of our customers.

The bank has crossed many milestones and is now celebrating its Platinum Jubilee year.
