HBL RuralBanking
HBL is one of the few financial institutions which caters to farmers financing need and has played a pivotal role in the development of the rural agriculture market.
With the distinction of being the largest commercial bank in Pakistan, HBL has influenced thousands of lives in the farming communities across the country and is committed to improving the agricultural sector’s growth. Through unique product offerings in the market, with the help of a technically skilled sales team in the field, HBL has been able to educate and facilitate its customers and the farming community.
At HBL, loans to farmers are mostly structured on a revolving basis. They (farmers) are only charged on the amounts utilised, which reduces the burden on them. Furthermore, the repayments are matched with the cropping cycle and the cash receipt of proceeds from the crops. This enables the farmers to pay off their debt to the bank when they have the funds available.
HBL has also joined hands with the Insurance industry for the launch of Crop Loan Insurance, protecting the borrowers against loss of crops on arising from rain, floods, disease etc. In case of a calamity the farmers’ crops are insured and their losses are adjusted against the insurance coverage.
HBL Rural Banking has provided a viable platform where farmers are able to avail finances required for their farming needs with innovative and unique offerings. With a complete range of products for its valued customers, HBL provides cutting edge value added services.
