KARACHI: National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has converted its 1,250th branch online out of its countrywide network of 1270 branches.

According to NBP here Monday, with 98 percent branch network going online, people living in such remote areas will benefit the most from this achievement.

While appreciating the effort, president, NBP Qamar Hussain said that back in June 2011, NBP had only 250 branches online and it required a very industrious effort to bring that number to 1,250.

Now NBP's customers living rural and urban areas of the country will be able to benefit from online services alike, he noted.
