Apart from the felicitation of the Covid warriors from the bank, Bank of Baroda also felicitated Mayur Shelke, who is employed as a pointsman with Indian Railways in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Shelke had risked his life to save a six year old child from certain death when the latter fell onto railway tracks in front of an oncoming train at Vangani railway station, near Mumbai.
The theme for the 114th Foundation Day is about the 'Value' all Barodians create and the 'Trust' that the bank enjoys of its 140 million customers. And therefore, the theme for the Foundation Day is ‘Creating Value with Trust’. It is about the ability to offer enriching customer experience and enhanced product offerings with the same trustworthy service that the bank is known for.
Bank of Baroda also announced the soon-to-be-launched ‘bob World’, the next generation digital banking platform. ‘bob World’ would be the digital face of the bank and a modern mobile application, regrouping its various products and services under one common digital umbrella brand.
