State Bank of India, Mumbai

In Australia and the United States, a state bank in a federated state is usually a financial institution that is chartered by the government of that state, as opposed to one regulated at the federal or national level.

In British English, the term is more or less synonymous with the term "national bank",[1] which refers to any bank owned and operated by a government or state.[2]

## United States

In the United States, the terms "state-chartered bank" or "state-chartered savings bank" are used in contradistinction to "national bank" or "federal savings bank", which are technically chartered across all US states.[3] A national bank must have "National" or "N.A." in its corporate name, a Federal Savings Bank must have "Federal" or "F.S.B." in its name, while a state chartered bank cannot have "National" or "Federal" in its name. All national banks and savings institutions are chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.{{citation needed|date=January 2

## Other countries

Usage of the term "state bank" varies in other countries. It is often a national bank of some type.

In India, the State Bank of India is an Indian multinational public sector bank and financial services statutory body.[4] It is a defined type of bank in India known as a public sector bank, and the largest bank in India.[5] It was founded as a private commercial bank, then nationalised by the Government of India, and the product of several mergers.[6] Meanwhile, the State Bank of Vietnam is defined as an executive department under the Government of Vietnam, being the country's central bank that represents the government to manage functions of monetary, banking and foreign exchange operations as well as being the designated issuer of the national currency đồng.[7]
