Subsequently, they partnered with several leading institutions to create self-employment opportunities for thousands of clients through innovative financial solutions.

Asiamoney 2020 also recognized these initiatives of JS Bank. Earlier this year, JS was the only Pakistani bank to win two awards at the platform – namely, Best bank for SMEs and Best bank for CSR.

Even CEO Shamsie has firm belief in supporting Pakistan’s SME community. “For us, SMEs are the heart of economic growth. By building this sector, we are working towards building Pakistan’s future. We are humbled by the appreciation and thank our valued clients for their continued support and patronage, without whom none of this would have been possible”

“As we have seen in this year’s winners, banks were still able to navigate and up their game even during the pandemic. We are looking forward to seeing how they will continue to provide the best service to clients in spite of these very difficult times” said Tim Charlton, publisher of Asian Banking & Finance magazine.
