It will enable customers to explore the bank’s several products and services, locate branches, ATMs, JCash agents, and to lodge complaints.
JS Bank owns 345 branches in 172 cities across the country as well as an international branch in Manama, Bahrain.
Users across the world can now access the self-service banking channel, as various Pakistani banking apps stop work when they go abroad and require roaming telephone features.
Whatsapp chat banking is already available in various countries globally.
