Kina Bank remains committed to meeting the financial services needs of its customers through core banking services, digital transformation and strategic partnerships.
Kina Bank CEO and Managing Director Ivan Vidovich reiterated this commitment at the 2025 Prime Minister’s Back to Business Breakfast held at the Hilton Hotel in Port Moresby on Tuesday, February 04, 2025.
“At Kina Bank, we have been working hard to improve the financial services landscape in PNG by making banking more progressive, accessible and convenient. This has been the cornerstone of our vision for the last five years,” Mr. Vidovich said.
This year is particularly significant for Kina Bank, as it celebrates 40 years in PNG since its inception in 1985. Now operating as PNG’s second-largest bank, Kina Bank offers a diverse range of financial solutions, from banking to wealth management.
Mr. Vidovich also expressed gratitude to Kina Bank’s outgoing CEO and Managing Director, Greg Pawson, whose leadership significantly expanded Kina’s digital footprint across the country.
“Kina’s strong growth would not have been possible without the leadership of our outgoing CEO, Greg Pawson. Through his seven-year term, Kina has expanded its banking footprint across the country in retail, commercial, and SME Business.”
He also acknowledged the Government through the Prime Minister for the productive dialogue with the financial services industry over the past two years, which has led to positive changes in the commercial bank tax.
“These changes support the continued growth of a sector that employs more than 10,000 people while supporting the Government’s priorities as it navigates its medium-term fiscal pathway. Kina Bank’s digital-first and challenger bank mindset will see Kina Bank continue to make valuable contribution to supporting PNG’s national development,” he added.
