Banif Bank holds annual managers’ meeting
Banif Bank (Malta)’s strategic plan for the next year was presented at the Bank’s fifth annual managers’ meeting held recently at the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Valletta.
The event is an annual appointment that the executive management of the Bank keeps with its management team, in the presence of directors, and serves as an evaluation exercise of the Bank’s past performance, and as a platform for sharing the organisation’s corporate plan for the year.
The meeting was introduced by chairman Joseph Sammut who referred to the bank’s five years of achievements where Banif became an established and trusted brand despite the challenging economic scenario and strong competition.
In a brief time frame the bank experienced rapid growth and a significant market share, owing much, among others, to a dedicated workforce that drives its operations.
“We are greatly satisfied with the results we have achieved,” said Joaquim F. Silva Pinto, chief executive officer, Banif Bank (Malta) plc. “The next step is to capitalise on this very encouraging growth rate and aspire for more, while using the Bank’s vision as a rule book,” continued Mr Silva Pinto.
Keynote speeches were delivered by the Bank’s chief officers, who each gave a review of their areas of operations, followed by an outline of the strategic initiatives for the year. The Bank’s customer-centric strategy is based on high-quality service, innovative products and services portfolio and a strong infrastructure, while the focus is to improve efficiency and create effective value.
This year Banif Bank (Malta) is celebrating its fifth birthday. The bank has a network of nine branches across Malta and Gozo, a Corporate and Business Banking Unit and a trading room.
