SBI is one of the largest private sector banks in the country and was established as the Bank of Calcutta in 1806. Currently, the bank has more than 24,000 branches across 36 countries of the world. The SBI IFSC is an 11-digit code made up of both letters and numerals that represent the bank branch. The Reserve Bank of India, or RBI, assigns this code to every bank in the country to secure and streamline the fund transfer process. 

It is important to know your IFSC code to make financial transactions through platforms like RTGS, NEFT, and IMPS. The SBI IFSC code differs for each bank branch, and no two branches have the same code. For example, the SBI IFSC code for the Bommasandra branch is SBIN0021745, while it is SBIN0020852 for the SBI Airport Road branch.

The first four letters of the 11-digit SBI IFSC code are 'SBIN'. These letters represent the bank. The fifth character is zero, and it is constant for all bank branches. The last six characters represent the SBI bank branch. Entering the correct IFSC code is mandatory for the seamless transfer of funds from one bank to another. Recently, SBI got into a merger deal and revised the IFSC codes of some of its branches. Please read on to know how to search SBI IFSC Code for any branch.
