India’s largest public sector bank has launched a fresh recruitment drive for banking professionals.

State Bank of India has announced 100 vacancies for Trade Finance Officer posts under the Specialist Cadre Officer category for 2026.

The recruitment process is being conducted by the Central Recruitment and Promotion Department at SBI’s Corporate Centre in Mumbai.

These positions will be filled on a regular basis under the Middle Management Grade Scale-II category.

Interested candidates can apply online through the official SBI careers portal from 13 May 2026 to 2 June 2026.

The bank has also released a detailed notification containing information about eligibility, salary, experience requirements, and the selection process.

According to the notification, applicants must hold a graduation degree along with the IIBF Forex Certification.

Additionally, candidates should possess at least two years of relevant work experience in trade finance or related banking operations.

The age limit for applicants ranges between 23 and 32 years. Selected candidates will receive a salary between ₹64,820 and ₹93,960 under the MMGS-II pay scale.

Moreover, the recruitment offers regular employment along with career growth opportunities within SBI.

The selection process will include shortlisting, followed by an interview carrying 100 marks. SBI has not announced any written examination for this recruitment drive so far.

Therefore, professional experience and qualifications are expected to play an important role during shortlisting.

The probation period for selected candidates will remain six months. Meanwhile, the bank has suggested Hyderabad and Kolkata as probable posting locations for the recruited officers.

SBI stated that the detailed notification includes complete information regarding vacancies, eligibility conditions, application procedures, salary structure, and important guidelines for applicants.

Candidates planning to apply are advised to carefully review the official notification before submitting their online forms.

The recruitment drive comes as banks continue strengthening trade finance operations amid rising global business activity and increasing demand for specialised banking professionals.
