Brief History
1937: Shri.M.Ct.M. Chidambaram Chettyar establishes the Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) to encourage overseas banking and foreign exchange operations. IOB started up simultaneously at three branches, one each in Karaikudi, Madras (Chennai) and Rangoon (Yangon). It then quickly opened a branch in Penang and another in Singapore. The bank served the Nattukottai Chettiars, who were a mercantile class that at the time had spread from Chettinad in Tamil Nadu state to Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Burma (Myanmar), Malaya, Singapore, Java, Sumatra, and Saigon. As a result, from the beginning IOB specialized in foreign exchange and overseas banking (see below).
1946: IOB opened a branch in Ceylon.
1947: IOB opened a branch in Bangkok.
1948: United Commercial Bank (see below) opened a branch in Malaya.
1949: IOB opened a branch in Bangkok.
1960s: The banking sector in India was consolidating by the merger of weak private sector banks with the stronger ones; IOB absorbed five banks, including Kulitali Bank (est. 1933).
1969: The Government of India nationalized IOB. At one point, probably before nationalization, IOB had twenty of its eighty branches located overseas. After nationalization it, like all the nationalized banks, turned inward, emphasizing the opening of branches in rural India.
1973: IOB, Indian Bank and United Commercial Bank established United Asian Bank Berhad in Malaysia. (Indian Bank had been operating in Malaysia since 1941 and United Commercial Bank Limited had been operating there since 1948.) The banks set up United Asian to comply with the Banking Law in Malaysia, which prohibited foreign government banks from operating in the country. Also, IOB and six Indian private banks established Bharat Overseas Bank as a Chennai-based private bank to take over IOB's Bangkok branch.
1977: IOB opened a branch in Seoul.
1988-89: IOB acquired Bank of Tamil Nadu in a rescue.
2000: IOB engaged in an initial public offering (IPO) that brought the government's share in the bank's equity down to 75%.
2007: IOB took over Bharat Overseas Bank.
2009: IOB took over Shree Suvarna Sahakari Bank, which was founded in 1969 and had its head office in Pune.
