Our range of products are tailored to suit the varied needs of your staff, especially our loan offerings and various cards and we are committed to ensuring that we fulfil our part of the terms in this MOU,” he assured.

“This is going to be a win-win partnership that will help our gallant soldiers who work tirelessly, to become home owners, despite the conditions they sometimes find themselves in.

“As I speak with you, there is a soldier standing under a tree at a check point, working to protect precious lives and must return home to a decent place of abode after all the sacrifice. My men and I really appreciate this thoughtful partnership. I believe this is going to attract many Army staff to your Bank,” he added.
