The country is marking 50 years of independence, celebrating strong unity and diversity and what better way to do it than celebrating it as well with a financial institution that has been around since the early days of Papua New Guinea’s journey as a country.
That institution is the TISA Bank, born from the service and sacrifice of the country’s very own Teachers, Policemen and Women, Soldiers, Nurses, Doctors, and public servants, TISA Bank isn’t just another institution.
In a statement, TISA Bank says it takes pride in charting a bold path forward, with plans to open more than 20 new branches within the next 18 to 24 months going forward.
“We are extending our reach into the heart of Papua New Guinea, connecting with the unbanked and underbanked through an innovative agency banking network. A teacher should not leave their class, a nurse their clinic, or a police officer their post just to do their banking.
“We’re bringing financial services to where you serve—because your time and contribution deserves that respect,” said TISA Bank.
TISA Bank is owned by the people, thus, embodying the spirit of Papua New Guinean ownership, purpose, and accountability. This is not just a bank—it is a movement toward financial inclusion, community growth, and empowered livelihoods.
“We urge every public servant to take part in this national initiative. Open your account. Own your bank. And stand with us as we build a more connected, resilient, and inclusive Papua New Guinea.”
