Allied Bank Limited has launched its Warehouse Facility to support agricultural businesses in Pakistan by allowing millers, traders, and farmers to use stock as collateral instead of land or property. This innovative solution helps overcome the longstanding financing challenges faced by small and medium enterprises in the agriculture sector.
The facility offers secure, bank-managed warehouses with 24/7 surveillance, transparent record-keeping, and fully insured commodities. Borrowers are exempt from Muqaddam charges, reducing finance costs and easing financial pressure on businesses while enabling smoother cash flows during peak trading seasons.
To promote the service, Allied Bank conducted awareness events in major grain markets and warehouses, including Mandi Faizabad, Kamoke, Ghakkar, Toba Road Jhang, Athara Hazari Jhang, Pakpattan Road Sahiwal, and Muneerabad Multan. Over 3,200 farmers, traders, and agri-entrepreneurs participated, learning firsthand how the facility strengthens agricultural trade and supports sustainable business growth.
