Bank of India was founded on 7th September, 1906 by a group of eminent businessmen from Mumbai. The Bank was under private ownership and control till July 1969 when it was nationalized along with 13 other banks.

Beginning with one office in Mumbai, with a paid-up capital of 50 Lakh and 50 employees, the Bank has made a rapid growth over the years and blossomed into a mighty institution with a strong national presence and sizable international operations. In business volume, the Bank occupies a premier position among the nationalised banks.

The Bank's association with the capital market goes back to 1921 when it entered into an agreement with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to manage the BSE Clearing House. It is an association that has blossomed into a joint venture with BSE, called the BOI Shareholding Ltd. to extend depository services to the stock broking community. Bank of India was the first Indian Bank to open a branch outside the country, in London, in 1946, and also the first to open a branch in Europe, Paris in 1974.

AboutUs-Home

The Bank of India emblem epitomizes the corporate personality and basic policy of the Bank. In conception and design, it is a harmonious blend of the traditional and the functional.

Within the central circle lies the Bank's seal - a symbolic and stylized representation of Mother India, signifying Bank of India's continuing consciousness of the legacy of the national past.

The five prongs of the star represent the Bank's pragmatic aspect-banking service extending over five continents. The single elongated point, yearning upwards, conveys Bank of India's unceasing endeavor to achieve ever-ascending goals.

The star has yet another aspect: it is a beacon and guide to those in need of direction. It symbolizes the Bank's perpetual readiness to assist any one, common man and business man alike, in steering a course through the contemporary maze of monetary affairs.

Last of all, the star has astrological significance: it is a determinant of times to come.

Bank of India sees this as a commitment to ensuring that the corporate emblem shines as a harbinger of bright future for all.
