This week is scheduled to mark the official opening of Jana Small Finance Bank’s first public offerings (IPO), which will begin with subscriptions on Wednesday, February 7, and end on Friday, February 9.
Small Finance Banks (SFBs) are essential institutions in the banking landscape that work to promote financial inclusion. They serve the underbanked and unserved segments of society, especially in rural and remote areas, and provide basic banking services, microloans, and small loans to enable individuals and small businesses to access formal financial services. By emphasising customer-centric approaches and streamlined procedures, SFBs bridge the gap between traditional banking and the unbanked population. These banks are vital to the nation’s economic growth and the empowerment of its communities.
