The Teacher’s Savings and Loan Limited (Tisa) Bank unveiled its newly rebranded logo on Saturday the 5th of October.

TISA group Chief Executive Officer, Michael Koisen in his opening remarks, stated that the progress of TISA over the years had seen the defining relationship between the shareholders and the board and had also attributed the success of TISA to the mutual trust between each and every Papua New Guinean.

“That idea had grown over the years into building a financial institution for Papua New Guinea and our new brand captures the essence as it transitions to a bank,”.

He says they currently have a staff of 150 and would increase that number to 600 to provide equal opportunity for new graduates from the tertiary institutions.

The expansion of TISA will see the opportunities for local entrepreneurs to access capital growth in their businesses and contribute to job opportunities.

TISA group Chairman, Gabriel Tai says TISA was established in 1972, almost 50 years ago with the purpose of serving teachers monetarily.

“They understood the power of collective savings and the strength that comes from unity” he says.

Mr. Tai also says the new brand commends the new chapter in the history of TISA with the aim to give more opportunities to the people of PNG.

The new logo – a bilum is about embracing a bigger mission, banking on change.
