For J&K Bank and its partner PNB MetLife, it is critical that we deliver on our promise of ensuring financial protection of our customers, he added.
Describing J&K Bank as a banker to almost every adult of J&K state, Parvez Ahmad said that out of 86 Lakh adult population of the state, around 75 lakh are customers of the J&K Bank. The reason for sustainability of business and uninterupted growth in a critical state like J&K is the human and personal approach in business operations that we have followed over the decades. At J&K Bank, the most valued and uncompromising thing is the trust and emotional equity of people in the bank, he said, and stressed, Preserving and promoting that trust and emotional equity is the guiding principle for us in all our bussiness alliances and partnerships.

We understand there are some procedural hiccups in settling claims but together with our insurance partners we try to deliver the best in the minimum time-frame, he added.
PNB MetLife with J&K Bank as a partner has secured over 208000 lives in the valley and paid over 995 claims worth Rs.21 crores.
