It is not correct that Corporation Bank and Syndicate Bank were launched from Mangalore. In fact birth place of both these Branches is Udupi town which is 60 kms from mangalore and a district HQ of udupi District. In fact Malpe Harbour near udupi was more suited as natural harbour and strongly recommended by Japanese to indian Govt but for political reasons port was allotted to Mangalore.

udupi was part of the erstwhile dakshina kannada district of which mangalore was the capital. you are right about syndicate bank, but corporation bank was established in mangalore along with canara bank(hq shifted to blore), vysya bank and karnataka bank.
