(Bloomberg) -- Postal Savings Bank of China Co., which is preparing an IPO that could raise about $8 billion, has more outlets than any listed bank globally.

The network of Beijing-based Postal Savings Bank is nearly double State Bank of India's outlet count and almost five times that of Wells Fargo & Co.
