Key Takeaways

• PBGB was amalgamated into West Bengal Gramin Bank (WBGB) on 1 May 2025, backed by a gazette notification dated 7 April 2025.
• 8505806500 covers everything now, SMS and WhatsApp both. So there's no separate code or app to remember for a quick balance check.

A lot of people are still typing this exact search into Google, which makes sense. PBGB was the name on record for years across five districts in West Bengal. That changed when the Centre combined it with two other regional rural banks, Bangiya Gramin Vikash Bank and Uttarbanga Kshetriya Gramin Bank, into a single new bank called West Bengal Gramin Bank. Account numbers and debit cards carried over exactly as they were, and the only real change on the customer side was which number to contact for a balance check. WBGB runs under Punjab National Bank's sponsorship, with its head office based out of Berhampore in Murshidabad district.
