Key benefits include 5% savings at select merchants, a set number of free ATM transactions, and free InstaAlerts among others.
The bank’s efforts to #MakeADifference in the lives of customers in J&K is not just reflected in business, but also in its attempt to invoke a change in the #communities in which it operates.
