In 1913, at the instance of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, the Engineer Statesman, a state aided Bank, under the patronage of His Highness the Maharaja of Mysore, Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, was established.
This was “Mysore Bank Ltd”. During 1953, “Mysore Bank” was appointed as an agent of Reserve Bank of India to undertake Government business and treasury operations, and in March 1960,
it became a subsidiary of the State Bank of India under the State Bank of India (subsidiary Banks) Act 1959. Now our bank is an Associate Bank under State Bank Group.
