KINA BANK WOMEN CELEBRATED

Kina Bank proudly celebrated International Women’s Day on Friday 07th March by
acknowledging the invaluable contributions of its female staff to the organisation’s growth and
success.

Kina Bank CEO and Managing Director, Ivan Vidovich said Kina Bank takes immense pride in
the gender diversity within its workforce, which extends across all levels of leadership and
into specialist areas such as technology—fields that have traditionally been male-dominated.

“We are proud of the hard work and contributions of the women in our business who make
up 54% of our workforce,” Mr Vidovich said.

“Though there is more work to be done, we recognise Kina’s progress in continuously
improving our policies, benefits, and support services, to create an environment that fosters
equity and diversity, empowering all employees to thrive and contribute to Kina Bank’s success
and inclusive culture.”

“We also recognise the dual responsibilities many of our women carry—balancing their
professional roles with the demands of home life—and the unique challenges these
expectations bring. There is still work to be done, and Kina Bank remains deeply committed
to listening, addressing these challenges, and continuously improving our workplace.

Together, we aim to make a meaningful difference not only within our organisation but also
in the communities we serve,” he added.

Kina is committed to empowering women in leadership by providing mentorship, training,
and support, while also closing the gender pay gap through transparent pay structures and
regular audits. The bank supports work-life balance with flexible work arrangements and
parental leave policies.

This year, Kina will be supporting young girls and students learn financial literacy skills by
sponsoring “RISE”, a youth empowerment organisation dedicated to fostering personal
growth, tertiary learning, and employment opportunities through structured mentoring
programs.

The bank also fosters are work culture where every employee feels valued and
respected, and women’s successes are celebrated.

Sharing the CEO’s sentiments, Acting General Manager Branch Distribution, Hitolo Shonty
Morea said that over 80% of branch managers and assistant branch managers are women,
reflecting their significant role in the organisation.
