Established in Lahore on 19th February 1943, Oriental Bank of Commerce made a modest beginning under its Founding Father, Late Rai Bahadur Lala Sohan Lal, the first Chairman of the Bank.Within four years of coming into existence, the Bank had to face the holocaust of partition. Branches in the newly formed Pakistan had to be closed down and the Registered Office had to be shifted from Lahore to Amritsar. Late lala Karam Chand Thapar, the then Chairman of the Bank, in a unique gesture honoured the commitments made to the depositors from Pakistan and paid every rupee to its departing customers. The foundation of customer service thus laid has ever since remained Oriental Bank's prime philosophy and has been nurtured well as a legacy by all its successors, year after year. Projects - A Handful of SuccessThe Bank has launched yet another people's participation in the planning process at grass root level essentially to tackle the maladies of poverty. The Grameen Projects venture aims to alleviate poverty plus identify the reasons responsible for the failure or success.

State Bank of Saurashtra is a growing and progressive institution, with its roots firmly entrenched in the soil of Saurashtra. The region of Saurashtra, which at present forms a part of Gujarat State, comprised of many small, medium and large princely states, prior to 1948. The states of Bhavnagar, Rajkot and Porbandar, which were among the larger states and the two smaller states, viz. Palitana and Vadia, had established their own Darbar Banks. Out of these five, Bhavnagar Darbar Bank had been established in the year 1902, to which we owe our origin. These Banks were mainly catering to the needs of the respective princely states, acting as the repository for the states' treasures as also the peoples' savings. After the princely states were integrated to form Saurashtra state in 1948, a need was felt to amalgamate these banks and make them a state-owned bank was felt to serve as an instrument for developing the economy of the region. Accordingly, the Bhavnagar Darbar Bank was formed into a statutory corporation, called STATE BANK OF SAURASHTRA, under the Saurashtra State Bank ( Amalgamation ) Ordinance, 1950 and the four Darbar Banks - Rajkot State Bank, Porbandar State Bank, Palitana Darbar Bank and Vadia State Bank - were merged with it with effect from 1st July, 1950 as its branches.
