| BSN To Set Up More Islamic Banking Branches |
|
KOTA BAHARU, Jan 24 (Bernama) -- Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) will soon establish more branches in the country based on the Islamic banking system, said its General Manager/Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Adinan Maning.
He said the move was to make available more BSN products besides meeting the desire of the government to remind people of the ability of the government to provide Islamic banking services to everyone.
According to him, the move was related to BSN's initiative to always be competitive with other financial institutions.
"We plan to have 20 more Islamic system banking branches in selected places," he said after speaking at a ceremony to officiate a BSN branch based on the Islamic banking system at Taman Bendahara, Pengkalan Chepa, here Sunday.
The ceremony was officiated by Deputy Finance Minister Senator Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin. Also present was Kelantan BSN director Mohd Zulkefli Daud.
Adinan said since the BSN branch was established on Dec 1, last year, the response from the public had been encouraging via opening Giro-i accounts.
