HBL Microfinance Bank (HBL MfB), Pakistan’s leading microfinance bank, and HBL Zarai Services Limited (HZSL), the pioneer agriculture-specialized extension services company in Pakistan, are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at empowering farmers through improved access to financial and agricultural support services. This collaboration underscores a shared vision of fostering sustainable agricultural development and enhancing rural livelihoods.
Under the partnership, HBL MfB, with its extensive expertise in providing tailored financial solutions to smallholder farmers, will establish a presence at HBL Zarai’s Deras, thus offering microfinance products designed to meet their agricultural needs.
Highlighting the significance of this collaboration, Mr. Amir Khan, President & CEO, HBL Microfinance Bank, remarked, “Our partnership with HZSL is a step forward in strengthening the backbone of Pakistan’s economy — the agriculture sector. As Pakistan’s largest microfinance bank and a leader in agricultural financing, we take pride in supporting rural communities with innovative financial solutions that address their unique challenges. Together with HZSL, we aim to empower farmers by providing them with the resources, knowledge, and tools to make informed decisions, enhance their agricultural practices, and access financial services needed to thrive in an evolving landscape.”
As Pakistan’s leading microfinance bank, HBL MfB has been at the forefront of driving financial inclusion for rural households, particularly for those engaged in agriculture. This partnership allows HBL MfB to extend its outreach through HZSL’s extensive network of Zarai Deras and Zarai Dost outlets.
These locations will serve as key touchpoints for farmers to access HBL MfB’s financial services, fostering a stronger connection between the Bank and the farming community.
