A nationalized bank is a bank that is wholly or majorly owned by the government of the country where it is operating. The term nationalized banks is very common in India and is used to signify a bank that is owned by the Government of India. For ex: State Bank of India is a nationalized bank and is fully owned by the Indian government

Cooperative banks in India are not nationalized; they are typically owned and operated by their members. While they are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the respective state governments, they maintain a cooperative structure that differentiates them from nationalized banks, which are government-owned. Each cooperative bank operates independently, serving local communities and members rather than being part of a nationalized system.
A Bank is considered Nationalized if the bank is fully or at least majorly owned by the Government of India. The term nationalized is very commonly used in india to refer to government owned banks. They are called state owned banks or public sector banks in other countries. State bank of India, Punjab National Bank etc are examples of nationalized banks in india.
Nationalized banks are commercial banks that are owned and operated by the government, focusing on providing a wide range of banking services to the public and promoting economic growth. In contrast, cooperative banks are member-owned financial institutions that operate on a cooperative model, primarily serving the financial needs of their members within a specific community or sector. While nationalized banks typically have a broader mandate and regulatory framework, cooperative banks emphasize local participation and community welfare. Additionally, nationalized banks often have more extensive resources and reach compared to cooperative banks.
