Supporting Your Business Series:
A Discussion with the Banking Sector
Join us on Facebook on May 28th for a live discussion with bankers!
From 3-4pm on Thursday, May 28th, join the SME Response Clinic on Facebook for a live webinar with Rwandan bankers hosted by Access to Finance Rwanda and the Rwanda Bankers Association.
You can join simply by opening up the SME Response Clinic page on Facebook at 3pm on May 28th. It will be your chance to learn more about what banks are doing to help SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The SME Response Clinic’s goal is to provide more information to SMEs in Rwanda during the pandemic. The Clinic’s partners know that many small businesses are struggling with lack of cash flow, repayment of loans, and an uncertain future right now.
An important part of the response is already coming from banks and other institutions. There are products and services in place that are meant to aid with issues of working capital, reduced revenue and liquidity. The key to managing a business and surviving the pandemic will be to stay informed, stay safe, and know what is available to you as a business person – especially if you operate in a hard-hit industry like tourism, hospitality or transport.
During the webinar, you will learn about products and services like loan repayment holidays, loan moratoriums, lines of credit and overdraft facilities directly from Rwandan bankers. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with:
- Maurice K. Toroitich, Managing Director of BPR Atlas Mara
- Robin C. Bairstow, CEO of I&M Bank and Chairman of Rwanda Bankers Association
- Christine Baingana, CEO of Urwego Bank
This webinar will be held primarily in English and will be moderated by Tony Francis Ntore, Executive Secretary of the Rwanda Bankers Association, and Jean Bosco Iyacu, Director of Programs at Access to Finance Rwanda.
Please join us for this important event!
