Oriental Bank of Commerce was established in the year 1943 in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. Bahadur Lala Sohan Lal ji served as the bank’s first chairman. Four years after its inception the bank had to deal with India’s partition. In fact, the bank chose to honour all its commitments made to Pakistani customers. Later on the Bank was nationalized on 15 April 1980 and at the time ranked 19th among the nationalized banks. Since then the bank has grown by a substantial margin and has established itself as a reputed and trustworthy bank.
