Considering the deep penetration of J&K Bank branches in JK and Ladakh, it is our endeavour to use the network and make these services accessible to the people across the two UTs.”

“It is very heartening to see Anantnag Branch formally inaugurated as part of the expanding avenues of investment facilities for people of the region in general and our customers in particular. It is also an indicator of the success of JKB FSL that has reworked its business model and aligned it completely with customer expectations. There are many more such branches in the pipeline”, he added.

While addressing the participants he further said, “I would like to advise you to make best use of the services being rendered by JKBFSL so that you plan your investments well for better returns. The branch heads, I am sure would sensitize their customers well and make them aware about the services of JKBFSL and help them make prudent investment decisions.

I am sure the team is capable enough and would strive hard to tap that potential”, he said.
