 “The idea behind opening 30 more branches is to ensure enhanced levels of customer convenience and give flip to our state-centric strategy,” Mir said, adding that Rs 12000 crore advances in J&K by the bank reflected its commitment to “Dr. Drabu’s philosophy of J&K First.” Stating that the credit for Bank’s swelling profits goes to its customers, Mir urged people to avail its products “to better their lives.”
 “Our products are highly customized and have been designed with an aim to empower people. You are always welcome to our business units to help us serve you to your satisfaction” he said.

 “Using traditional Panjrakari and Khatamband in the interior designing of our new business units, apart from making branch ambience a warm experience, is part of our innovative approach towards CSR”, Banday said.
 Assuring customers of continued support from the Bank, Banday said that he expected Shafi Rasool, head of the TRC business unit, to give more comfort to the customers by encouraging personal touch to banking in his unit.
