AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE National Bank of Commerce (NBC) has reiterated its commitment to support the growth of the private sector, particularly the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) through provision of low interest loans.<\/p>\n

Speaking to SME business owners in Mwanza region during a get together party arranged for the bank\u2019s SME clients, the bank\u2019s Managing Director, Theobald Sabi said; \u201cWe issue low interest loans to SMEs as part of our initiative to enable small business owners grow their business and ultimately boost the country\u2019s economy at large.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Sabi noted that there are several success stories from small and medium sized business owners that demonstrate how much NBC bank\u2019s loans have contributed to the growth of their businesses.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, the NBC Director of Business Banking, Elvis Ndunguru said the aim of organizing a get together with SME business owners was to familiarize them with various banking services and products that are tailored for SMEs and are geared to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, we offer low-interest loans to business owners with no requirement of collateral as long as they have business contracts with big companies,\u201d said Ndunguru.<\/p>\n

Giving her testimony on how loans from NBC bank have helped her grow her business, a Mwanza-based businesswoman, Grace Kweka said through loans she received from NBC over the years, she has managed to grow her business from 7.0m\/-in 2005 to 250m\/- now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome business owners especially women tend to be reluctant to get loans from financial institutions, but I have a pleasant experience with NBC bank for instance when coronavirus was at its peak I couldn\u2019t travel outside the country to get goods, hence I negotiated with the bank and they agreed to reduce my interest fee,\u201d said Kweka adding that she started out as an entrepreneur and she now owns a medium-sized business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
