Associate Banks Officers’ Association (ABOA) was founded on 26th November, 1967 at Head Office of State Bank of Hyderabad. Though ABOA was registered as a Unitary Organisation, with it’s Registered Office at Hyderabad, it is virtually a defacto Federation in its functioning with seven independent Units in the seven Associate Banks of State Bank of India. The responsiveness to the national and social cause while working for the improvement of the Service Conditions of Officers has been the hallmark of functioning of ABOA. The ABOA. represents over 20,000 Officers in all cadres in seven Associate Banks. It is an apolitical and independent Trade Union, led by serving Bank Officers only. The ABOA is one of the strong Affiliates of All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (AIBOC), a principal bargaining agent for Officers in the country at Industry level and also stands affiliated to All India State Bank Officers’ Federation (AISBOF), a mighty Officers’ Trade Union, covering the entire membership in State Bank of India.

The Central Office of A.B.O.A. is presently at Bangalore. The aim of A.B.O.A. is to achieve through constructive cooperation with the Management, maximum efficiency in banking operations, high quality customer service, development of human resources, modernization of systems and procedures, prevention of wasteful expenditure and frauds and to generate stable and harmonious industrial relations. A.B.O.A. continues to play its effective watchdog role to protect the interest of the Associate Banks and its membership.Founded on 26th November 1967, ABOA Hyderabad Unit has emerged as a strong Officers’ Trade Union and a pride Unit of ABOA. It is the only recognised Association for the entire membership of 5000 members in the State Bank of Hyderabad.
