By doing so, individuals residing in remote regions will have the opportunity to access the capital market's services. This initiative aims to bridge geographical disparities and empower a wider demographic with financial opportunities.
Rastriya Banijya Bank has previously facilitated merchant banking services through the establishment of RBB Merchant Banking Limited, a subsidiary entity devoted to merchant banking transactions.
