What HDFC Bank does

India's largest private-sector bank, offering retail, corporate and wealth banking after merging with mortgage lender HDFC.

Earns mostly from the spread between low-cost savings and current-account deposits and loans, with a branch network that funds retail and corporate lending cheaply. Its 2023 merger with its parent, the mortgage lender HDFC Ltd, added a large home-loan book that now has to be funded with more deposits.

In one line: India's JPMorgan Chase / Wells Fargo for retail banking.
