Preferred Banks Under IBPS Exams
1: What does the acronym "ATM" stand for in banking?
While filling the applications most of the candidates will have uncertainty on bank preference. For all three IBPS examinations, there are around 18 options, and to filter the best one among them is a difficult task. While the Regional Rural Banks examination makes thing much easier since the need for local language is essential.
Since you have to abide that one condition, the selection became much easier compared to the other two examinations. But for the Probationary Officer, and Specialist Officer recruitments the banks list often makes confusion among the candidates. The preferred bank of each one of us would be distinct. We hope that the below-given points will be helpful for you to shortlist.

| Punjab National Bank (With Merger of Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank of India) | 11437 | New Delhi |
| Bank of Baroda | 13153 | Vadodara |
| Canara Bank (With Merger of Syndicate Bank) | 8801 | Bengaluru |
| Union Bank (With Merger of Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank) | 6798 | Mumbai |
