Under the agreement, JCB will nominate Karnataka Bank as its “Financial Fund of Choice”, whereby individuals, contractors, businesses and partner companies can obtain loans from the bank at competitive interest rates for the purchase of a wide range of equipment from JCB India Limited's product line, said a bank press release here.
The partnership agreement with JCB India is expected to boost lending under the bank's SME portfolio.
