The bank will also be looking at augmenting its existing delivery channels with new IT backed channels to boot customer convenience .the bank will continue to monitor the credit growth strictly on the basis of quality, risk and pricing aimed at improving returns on assets and capital. It will in 2006 further consolidate its corporate identity and offer its clients a better service and more customized products.

We remain committed towards improvement in stakeholders' value by diversifying our product range, devising innovative products in order to maintain a competitive edge, and invest in people and technology to enable the Bank to achieve growth in business, improvement in customer service and ultimately an increase in profitability.
