SBI Expands US Operations with Texas Branch

State Bank of India expanded its banking subsidiary footprint in the United States with the inauguration of a new branch of SBIC Bank in Frisco, North Dallas, Texas. The branch, inaugurated by SBI Chairman Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, represents the subsidiary's first office outside California and takes its total branch count in the country from seven to eight. Beyond the eight subsidiary branches, SBI operates three direct branches in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, alongside a representative office in Washington, DC. The lender selected Dallas because the city serves as a major commercial centre, setting up the outpost to handle retail deposits, commercial lending, remittances across the globe, and specialised services for Non-Resident Indians.
