Public Sector Banks Expand Wealth Management Services Amid Market Shift

Public sector banks in India are intensifying efforts to expand their wealth management services, traditionally led by private lenders, to better engage customers amid a shift from bank deposits to market-linked and insurance products. Indian Bank plans to establish a wealth management vertical targeting high net worth individuals, while State Bank of India aims to increase its assets under management to Rs 15 lakh crore by 2030. Indian Overseas Bank is also considering entry into this segment. The wealth management market is expected to double by FY29, driven by growth in the high net worth individual population.
