“Before you came up with this beautiful service centre, people around Dwangwa and Nkhota-kota who have accounts with your bank had to travel all the way to Mzuzu, Salima and Lilongwe to access your services but with the opening of this service centre, we expect increased productivity since there will be no excuses of absconding work to access banking services,” said Matchaya.
