This promotion will run until the end of 2021 and offers the convenience of flexible leasing packages, seasonal payment plans, special rentals and other benefits, the Bank said.
Notably, the Bank’s flexible repayment plans take into consideration the seasonal income patterns of farmers and cultivation months, enabling customers to better structure their leases.
