Everything you need to know about Merchant Banking in India:

Merchant banking, unlike your conventional (retail and commercial) banking, mostly deals with international trade focusing majorly on foreign currency and dealing with global, multinational corporations. For instance, they don’t offer banking services such as different accounts (savings, current, fixed, recurring) and other products that are generally focused on individual consumers and deal with organizational customers such as large financial institutions or organizations which focuses on international trade and commerce.

Merchant banking encompasses all the topics under the international financing and underwriting. Real estate deals, trade financing, foreign currencies & investments, international, multinational, mergers, acquisitions, buyouts, issuing letters of international credits, international fund transfer, international trading, providing consultation on global trading technologies, loan syndications, and other such international transactions are few classic examples which gives you an idea what these merchant banks do. Some of the most popular merchant banks that you may have heard of are Goldman Sachs, J P Morgan Chase, Citibank Group, etc.

In India however, merchant banking began in 1967 when the Reserve Bank permitted Grindlays Bank. They started consulting the then entrepreneurs and other large financial institution on management, planning, production, investment, and other economic issues. The success of Grindlays spawned many international and domestic players such as Citibank Group, State Bank of India, ICICI, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank, UCO Bank, to name a few noteworthy banks. Most of these banks also cater to individual customers under a separate business unit.
