FBL opens branch in Papnakha village

KARACHI: Faysal Bank (FBL), has initiated a rural financial inclusion drive in Papnakha Village, Gujranwala, as part of ongoing efforts aligned with State Bank of Pakistan’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2024-28, marking a step toward expanding access to digital banking services in underserved areas. The initiative is aimed at transitioning the village toward a cashless, digitally enabled ecosystem, in line with broader national efforts to promote financial inclusion and reduce reliance on informal cash-based transactions. As part of the programme, FBL has broken ground on a dedicated branch in Papnakha Village, which is expected to improve access to formal banking services for local residents. The branch will support account opening, digital transactions, and other essential financial services. Copyright Business Recorder, 2026
