National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has converted its 1000 branches online out of its countrywide network of 1270 branches. According to NBP here on Tuesday, bank's IT division was able to meet this uphill task in a short span of eight months, a target given by the management at the beginning of the year. It is worth mentioning here that NBP is present in the remotest areas of the country, where no other financial institution exists mainly due to commercial viability.
With majority of branches going online people living in such remote areas will benefit the most. President NBP, Qamar Hussain has commended IT division and said that back in May we only had 250 branches online and it required a very industrious effort to bring that number to 1000.-PR
