Bank of America is one of the 4 largest banks in USA. They have clients in over 150 countries. They have 284,000 employees working for them in their offices.

I would assume, the answer for this is State Bank of India. SBI and its affiliate branches have the most number of branches in India and also, most probably the world. They have more than 17,000 branches across the country. Even if we assume they have only 10 people per branch working for them the total employee count would be 1.7 lakhs. Large branches, esp in cities have up to 50 staff. So, easily SBI could be the largest bank in terms of number of employees.
