SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Recruitment 2026 for Trade Finance Officer Posts

SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Trade Finance Officer Recruitment 2026

State Bank of India (SBI), one of the largest public sector banks in the world with over 22,000 branches across the country, has released a Specialist Cadre Officer (SCO) recruitment for 100 Trade Finance Officer posts in the Middle Management Grade Scale-II (MMGS-II). This is a specialist recruitment targeting experienced banking professionals with expertise in international trade finance, forex operations, and documentary credit. For banking professionals from Assam who have experience in trade finance with any scheduled commercial bank, this is a high-paying opportunity to join one of the most reputed banks in the country in a specialist officer role.

Trade Finance is a specialized and growing domain in Indian banking as exports and imports continue to expand. Trade Finance Officers handle Letters of Credit (LCs), Bank Guarantees (BGs), Export Bills, Import Bills, and FOREX transactions. The role requires deep knowledge of RBI guidelines on foreign exchange, ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) rules like UCP 600 and ISBP, and FEDAI (Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India) norms. Candidates who have worked in any bank's trade finance or FOREX department for at least 2 years are well-positioned for this role.

Mandatory Certification Requirement

Unlike most banking jobs, this recruitment has a mandatory certification requirement — candidates must hold a valid Certification in Forex Operations from IIBF (Indian Institute of Banking and Finance) dated on or before 30 April 2026. This is non-negotiable and applications without this certificate will be rejected. Preferred additional certifications include CDCS (Certificate for Documentary Credit Specialists), Certificate in Trade Finance, and Certificate in International Banking. These certifications demonstrate specialist knowledge and significantly strengthen your application.

Salary and Location

The MMGS-II pay scale translates to approximately Rs. 64,820 to Rs. 93,960 per month plus Dearness Allowance, HRA, City Compensatory Allowance, PF, NPS, medical facilities, and Leave Fare Concession. Postings will be at Hyderabad and Kolkata initially. Apply through the official SBI Careers portal before 2 June 2026.
