Bank of Baroda service and initiative expansion

Overview

Bank of Baroda has expanded its financial services and social engagement. The bank launched ‘bob PAL’ (Portfolio-backed Approved Limit), a digital overdraft facility that allows customers to access credit up to ₹5 crore by pledging securities such as equity shares, mutual funds, and bonds without liquidating their investments.

Following this, the bank entered the pension sector, becoming the second public sector bank to be appointed as a Sponsor of the Pension Fund by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). To support this, the bank integrated Tatkal NPS onto the BHIM App for digital onboarding. Alongside these financial developments, the bank participated in the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva 2026’ campaign, conducting cleanliness and hygiene awareness activities through its nationwide branches.
