(b) Sindh Bank Limited is wholly owned by Government of Sindh. It is fully equipped to service the entire banking needs of any governmental or private sector client and has an extensive network across not just in the province of Sindh but also across other provinces of Pakistan. Secondly other banks are not willing to offer such personalized service or attention to GoS accounts.

Furthermore, there are several special schemes and initiative like distribution of Zakat through ATM cards to thousand of beneficiaries across the province that the Sindh Bank is managing without extra consideration, as a matter of support to GoS. Sindh Bank is also facilitating Benazir Income Support Program since April 2012. Sindh Bank has so far established 137 branches (out of total of 225 branches) in the province including 72 in the Interior Sindh, many of which are at remote locations. The decision to shift banking needs from other banks to Sindh Bank is because other banks were not able to cater the requirements of GoS as stated above.
