Learn core banking operations at SBI including customer account management, deposit and lending product administration, loan processing for retail and SME borrowers, foreign exchange transactions, and digital banking services at branch and regional offices across India. The role provides hands-on exposure to SBI's core banking system, KYC and AML compliance procedures, treasury operations, and government business handling at a bank that processes a significant share of India's financial transactions. Apprentices interact directly with customers, learn to use banking software, and gain practical understanding of credit assessment, risk management, and regulatory reporting. The programme is excellent preparation for IBPS PO and SBI PO exams, and many apprentices use it as a stepping stone to full-time public sector banking careers.
