Northern Arc is excited to announce its new partnership with Karnataka Bank, a leading private sector bank in India. This collaboration aims to drive financial inclusion and support the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across the country.
Under this strategic partnership, Northern Arc will provide Karnataka Bank with its extensive expertise in evaluating credit risks and extending credit facilities to underbanked individuals and businesses. This will enable Karnataka Bank to expand its reach and offer enhanced financial services to previously underserved segments of the population.
Northern Arc’s focus on promoting inclusive finance aligns perfectly with Karnataka Bank’s mission to empower MSMEs and enable them to thrive in a competitive market. With this collaboration, both institutions aim to foster economic growth, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the overall development of the region.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Ravi Kumar Dasari, MD & CEO of Northern Arc, said, ”Karnataka Bank has been a pioneer in providing innovative banking solutions, particularly for the MSME sector. With our combined strengths and resources, we are confident in our ability to bridge the credit gap and provide access to finance to those who need it the most.”
Mr. Mahabaleshwara M.S., MD & CEO of Karnataka Bank, expressed his enthusiasm by stating, “Northern Arc has an impressive track record in facilitating credit access and ensuring responsible lending practices. This partnership will enable us to leverage their expertise and offer tailored financial solutions to our customers, ultimately enabling their sustainable growth and contributing to the inclusive development of our economy.”
As part of Northern Arc’s commitment to transparency and responsible finance, the partnership will also focus on leveraging technology to streamline and digitize lending processes. This will not only improve efficiency but also enhance customer experience and reduce turnaround time for loan approvals.
With this collaboration, Northern Arc and Karnataka Bank reaffirm their shared vision of bridging financial gaps, fostering entrepreneurial talent, and driving economic progress. By pooling their resources and expertise, they strive to create a stronger ecosystem that supports the financial aspirations of individuals and businesses across India.
