KARACHI: Pakistan’s premier banking institution, Faysal Bank Limited, reiterated its plans at IBA City Campus to convert into a full-fledged Islamic banking financial institution over the next few years. Faysal Bank currently has a branch network of 455 branches with 255 dedicated Islamic branches. Hundred new Islamic branches are to be opened this year and the bank intends to consolidate its network around 600 plus. Present at the event were Faysal Bank CEO and President Yousaf Hussain along with various dignitaries from both prestigious organisations.
