 "Axis Bank launches UK subsidiary")
Expanding its overseas presence, private sector lender Axis Bank today said it has launched its subsidiary in the United Kingdom for full banking operations.
'Axis Bank UK Ltd' received approval from the British regulators on April 29, 2013 to carry out the entire range of banking business, including deposit taking, disbursing loans, advances and investments, the Indian lender said.
"The opening of the subsidiary is a key milestone for us as United Kingdom is an important destination for many overseas Indian companies," Axis Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Shikha Sharma said.
