TISA Bank has officially opened its new Mt. Hagen Branch and launched ATM services in Western Highlands Province, marking another significant milestone in the Bank's commitment to delivering accessible, convenient, and customer-focused banking services to Papua New Guineans.

The opening ceremony brought together provincial leaders, government representatives, business stakeholders, community members, and TISA Bank officials to celebrate the Bank's continued expansion into one of Papua New Guinea's most important commercial and economic centres.

The launch represents a major step forward in TISA Bank's strategy to improve banking accessibility across the country by combining a growing branch network, digital banking solutions, agency banking services, and ATM infrastructure.

TISA Bank Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Luke Kaul, said the opening of the Mt. Hagen Branch reflects the Bank's commitment to serving customers and supporting economic development across the Highlands Region.

"The opening of our Mt. Hagen Branch reflects TISA Bank's commitment to bringing banking services closer to our customers and supporting economic growth across the Highlands Region. Mt. Hagen is one of Papua New Guinea's most important commercial centers, and we are proud to invest in a community that plays such a vital role in the nation's economy.

Through this new branch, we look forward to building lasting relationships with our customers, supporting local businesses, and helping more Papua New Guineans achieve their financial goals through accessible and customer-focused banking services," Mr. Kaul said.

The Mt. Hagen Branch will provide a full range of personal and business banking services, enabling customers to access savings accounts, lending solutions, digital banking services, and other financial products closer to home.

In addition to the branch opening, TISA Bank also officially launched its ATM services in Mt Hagen. The ATM Launch and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony marked the official opening of the Bank's latest ATM facility and forms part of a broader nationwide ATM rollout program.

The introduction of ATM services will provide customers with secure, convenient, and reliable access to essential banking services while reducing the need to visit a branch for routine transactions.

TISA Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Koisen said the ATM rollout forms part of the Group's broader vision to improve customer convenience and strengthen financial inclusion throughout Papua New Guinea.

"The launch of our ATM service in Mt. Hagen is another important step in TISA's digital transformation journey and our commitment to improving customer convenience. As we continue to invest in technology and modern banking infrastructure, we are creating more ways for customers to access banking services securely and conveniently. Combined with our branch network, agency banking, and digital channels, our ATM rollout supports our vision of delivering better banking experiences and strengthening financial inclusion across Papua New Guinea," Mr. Koisen said.

ATM deployments are planned throughout the country as part of TISA Bank's continued investment in customer accessibility and service delivery.

The expansion of TISA Bank's ATM network complements its growing suite of banking solutions, including Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, WhatsApp Banking, Voice Banking, YumiPei, and Agency Banking services.

Community leaders and guests welcomed the establishment of both the branch and ATM services, recognising the important role increased access to financial services plays in supporting local businesses, promoting financial inclusion, and driving economic growth.

The opening of the Mt. Hagen Branch and launch of ATM services further strengthens TISA Bank's expanding national footprint and reinforces its commitment to making banking simpler, more accessible, and more convenient for communities across Papua New Guinea.
