‘PNB Pragati’ is an initiative taken up under ‘Organisation Transformation and Business Excellence Programme’. The branches opened under it offer multiple delivery channels to customers e.g. counter services, self operating gadgets and machines and ATM. The self operating machines include Self Service Pass book printing terminal, Cash Deposit Machine, Cheque Deposit Machine, ATM, etc. These branches will have a reception counter welcoming all the customers and guiding them to the respective work areas. Queue Management System will reduces the waiting time of the customers. Thus, the new layout will enable speedy and convenient delivery of service to the customers in an excellent ambience.
With the opening of PNB Pragati branch at Domlur, the total number of PNB Pragati branches in Karnataka has increased to 8. Further, Circle has identified 9 more branches to be rolled over under Pragati Branches in Karnataka by the end of December ’12.
