Governor N N Vohra flagged off J&K Bank's mobile bank branch at SKICC, here today. This mobile bank branch is first of its kind in the J&K State. The state of the art branch will be functioning in a hi-tech mobile van fully equipped with all the basic facilities of a full fledged branch. The branch is fully computerized having cash vault and sufficient space for customers and staff. All the basic functions of the bank will be available to the customers in this mobile branch. Governor, N N Vohra , who boarded the mobile van to have a look at the state-of-the-art technology of the mobile bank branch, lauded the role of the J&K Bank in rendering world class services to the people of the state even in remotest locations. He appreciated this initiative of the bank, which he said will widen the horizon of financial inclusion of those who have so far remained outside the ambit of banking. Dr. Haseeb A Drabu, Chairman and Chief Executive of the Bank said, "We are of the view that if a customer due to frail infrastructure is not able to reach the bank branch let the bank reach to him. We take it as our social responsibility to provide banking services to the people of remote areas who find it difficult to reach our branches." It is a hi-tech step towards our financial inclusion through which we are reaching out to all, said Dr. Drabu. It is worth mentioning that Initially the mobile branch will cater to the needs of far flung villages of Ganderbal district. It is connected with the Ganderbal business unit of the bank and the customers will get all the banking facilities, which otherwise they get in the branch. The customers can deposit and withdraw money, open new accounts and enjoy benefits of various products and services of bank. Principal Secretary to Governor, Mr. B B Vyas, J&K Bank Presidents, Mr. Tafazal Hussain and Mr. Parvaiz Ahmad (Wwho is also zonal head, central Kashmir & Company Secretary) and Vice President Khursheed Ahmad Pandit were also present on the occasion.
