The '''Bank of Bombay''' was the second of the three presidency banks (others being the [[Bank of Calcutta]] and the [[Bank of Madras]]) of the [[British Raj|Raj period]]. It was established, pursuant to a charter of the [[British East India Company]], on 15 April 1840.<br />
<br />
The bank's headquarters were in [[Bombay]], now called [[Mumbai]]. The Bank of Bombay undertook all the normal activities which a [[commercial bank]] was expected to undertake. The Bank of Bombay, in the absence of any [[Central Bank|central banking authority]] at that time, also conducted certain functions which are ordinarily a preserve of a central bank.<br />
<br />
The Bank of Bombay and two other Presidency banks - the Bank of Calcutta and the Bank of Madras - were amalgamated and the reorganized banking entity was named the [[Imperial Bank of India]] on 27 January 1921. The [[Reserve Bank of India]], which is the central banking organization of India, in the year 1955, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India and the Imperial Bank of India was renamed on 30 April 1955 to the State Bank of India.<br />
