Fino Payments Bank is expanding its presence in West Bengal and the North-East, adding more touchpoints for banking services. The bank also applied for a small finance bank license.
Kolkata, Jan 15 (PTI) Fino Payments Bank, which started operations in 2017, will increase the number of touchpoints across West Bengal and the North Eastern part of the country, an official said here on Monday.
Presently, the bank has around 35,000 touchpoints across all the districts in West Bengal, Darpan Anand, senior divisional head (North and East), told reporters here.

Lending is allowed by an SFB which will help in expanding its business, he said.
Listed on the bourses two years ago, some of the major investors of Fino Payments Bank include Bharat Petroleum Corporation, IFC and Blackstone among others. PTI dc
