“We really understand the emotional connect that our customers have with J&K Bank and our calendar has been one of the key markers of this deeper bond. However, envisaging the digital future of economy coupled with the
government advisory post Covid-19 outbreak, we thought it was the right time to switch to digital platform and decided to have the Calendar-2021 in the form of a digital app,” the CMD said.
Having a calendar in digital form, the CMD said, is line with the maxim ‘Future is Digital”, adding, “World is fast switching to digitization of almost everything, and, J&K Bank is keen to introduce more technology-enabled interventions to bring comfort and convenience to its customers.
