Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Standard Bank has sixty billion kwanzas available to finance small and medium-sized Angolan companies, as a strategy for this year.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking to the press, the bank’s Executive Director for Small and Medium Enterprises, Fernando Chivinda, stated that, in addition to other sectors, its focus is on agriculture.<\/p>\n

“The amounts to be made available by sectors are analyzed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the projects presented by clients”, he stated.<\/p>\n

Regarding guarantees, he said they are closely associated with what customers have to offer.<\/p>\n

“It is important to mention that Standard Bank has a product called “Flex Cre\u0301dito”, which does not require a guarantee from customers. It is for those who have difficulties in presenting any assets, these are analyzed in the form of a transaction and we assign a value”, he explained.<\/p>\n

As for interest, he made it known that it depends on the specific transaction.<\/p>\n

He spoke about the case of agriculture, which benefits from Notice 10 of the National Bank of Angola, which allows companies to be financed at a rate of 7.5 percent or ten percent, if the financing relates to raw materials.<\/p>\n

Regarding disbursement installments, he said that the difference with others is that Standard Bank finances based on business analysis.<\/p>\n

“We check the client’s financial capacity and advise whether it makes sense to pay in one, three or five years”, he explained.<\/p>\n

Presence of Standard Bank at FIB<\/p>\n

The Executive Director of Standard Bank said that the institution’s priority for this year, at the Benguela International Fair, is a consultation strategy to identify the challenges that exist in the province.<\/p>\n

“We are aware that the fishing sector is experiencing great difficulties due to the “considerable reduction in fish”, he informed.<\/p>\n

Regarding this aspect, he informed that, for some companies that are having difficulty honoring their commitments, the Bank, in addition to providing financing, monitors the business.<\/p>\n

“The Bank does not limit itself to approving a credit operation, we finance it, approve it and every three months we analyze the client’s financial performance”, he clarified.<\/p>\n

According to him, Standard Bank is the banking institution with the lowest default rate for small and medium-sized companies, set at 0.5 percent.<\/p>\n

Standard Bank is one of the largest banks in Africa. It has been present in Angola since 2010.<\/p>\n
