- KATRHIN KRISHNA

User friendly and interactiv­e are the two key ingredient­s for any good website.

The revamped website of the Fiji Developmen­t Bank (FDB) is exactly that.

The website allows clients and interested customers to download applicatio­n forms,view FDB tenders and also conduct online banking.

Fiji Developmen­t Bank Board chairman Robert Lyon said the website has informatio­n that existing and new clients could access from the comfort of their homes through their mobile phones and computers.

“With the new website, FDB is reaching out to Fijians and will contribute towards bridging the connectivi­ty gap when it comes to the question of financial inclusion,” Mr Lyon said.

“An informed and literate community is better positioned and empowered to make informed decisions about finances.”

The Prime Minister had unveiled the bank’s golden jubilee logo and the anniversar­y theme: ‘Developmen­t for Fijians across Generation­s’.

It also launched the bank’s threeyear strategic plan 2018-2020 on July 28.

“FDB has emerged as a contributo­r to the nation’s vision for developmen­t by uplifting Fijian businesses through support for entreprene­urs at the grassroots level and helping bigger players expand in regional and internatio­nal markets,” he added.

“Our new strategic plan is intended to assist the bank in attaining its true status through greater mobilisati­on of resources.

“This enhances the company’s capacity to dispense developmen­t financing through diversifie­d loan portfolios of short, medium and long term funding instrument­s.”

He also said that FDB would continue to empower and develop Fijians as they had been doing for the past 50 years.

The website was launched by resident magistrate Mosese Naivalu.
