Bengaluru, January 14 (IANS): The State Bank of India (SBI) on Thursday formally launched its first exclusive startup bank branch SBI InCube and wealth management services SBI Exclusif. “Introducing wealth management has been one of the bank’s top strategic priorities, as we have a number of High Net worth Individuals (HNI),” the bank’s chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said. SBI Exclusif will offer a dedicated relationship manager who will take care of all the banking and investment needs of its clientele. “We believe that India today is an aspirational nation, there are a lot of people who are moving up the curve and they are too busy today to actually worry about looking after their wealth as well as wealth creation and generation and maintenance, so we hope to be able to do this job for such people,” said Bhattacharya. SBI Exclusif will be served by well experienced relationship managers and investment experts who have undergone extensive training with leading global institutions. The new wealth management offering from the SBI will provide e-Wealth Center which can deliver relationship management services remotely for extended hours and enable customers to transact and invest on digital channels like internet and mobile. Other SBI Exclusif benefits include a special wellness benefit card, top tier credit and debit cards, tax and legacy planning services and cash pickup/delivery services among others.
