Bank of Baroda has a marked presence abroad and its Singapore & UK operations contribute significantly to fee income of the bank:
Bank of Baroda started its overseas journey by opening its first branch way back in 1953 in Mombassa, Kenya. Since then, the bank has come a long way in expanding its international network to serve NRls and PIOs, Indian corporates around the world and to meet the banking requirements of the local population in these countries where it has a presence. The bank has transformed into ‘India’s International Bank.’
