PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK has appointed Indian women’s cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur as the bank’s first-ever female brand ambassador. The announcement was made at a vibrant ceremony at the bank’s corporate office, held under the theme ‘Banking On Champions’.
Kaur was presented with a framed PNB jersey featuring her name and number, along with a custom-engraved PNB bat, a media release said.
In her first official engagement as brand ambassador, Kaur joined M. Nagaraju, secretary (FS), and PNB MD & CEO Ashok Chandra to unveil four products: PNB RuPay Metal Credit Card Luxura, PNB One 2.0, Digi Surya Ghar, and PNB’s onboarding on the IIBX Portal.
The ceremony included a rapid-fire interaction, tree plantation, and cultural performances. As part of the celebration, PNB invited 10 young female cricketers, who received PNB-branded cricket kits signed by Kaur, encouraging them to pursue their sporting aspirations with confidence.
Nagaraju said, “Harmanpreet Kaur has made India proud by making the women cricket team win for the first time and inspired millions of young aspirants. As for PNB, they have been doing tremendous job, especially the MSME campaign and launching of this metal credit card has added a product for elite group.”
Kaur expressed, “It feels truly surreal. I have been banking with PNB since I was 18, and my first account was at the PNB Moga branch. To stand here today as the Bank’s brand ambassador is an honour. PNB has supported generations of Indians in realising their financial aspirations, and its commitment to empowering people, especially women and young talent, deeply resonates with me. I look forward to working together to inspire many more champions across India. I’m also happy to be the first customer of PNB Metal Credit Card Luxura.”
Chandra added, “We are delighted to welcome Indian Cricket Captain and World Cup Winner Harmanpreet Kaur to the PNB Parivaar. It is the first time in PNB history that we are having a woman as a brand ambassador. Her leadership, resilience, and unwavering pursuit of excellence mirror the ethos of our Bank. We are also delighted to introduce Luxura, our first-ever metal credit card for elite customers that is designed to deliver unmatched experiences and set a new benchmark in the present market.”
