Access Bank reinforced its role as a strategic partner for women by taking part in a round table with female entrepreneurs. The initiative was held in partnership with the Mozambican Chamber of Commerce and had the slogan "Access to Finance".

The meeting brought together women entrepreneurs and businesswomen to share and present financial solutions that facilitate business growth and that the Bank has at its disposal to boost women-led businesses.

Among the various products it offers, Access Bank presented the Women's Financing Line, a product that responds to the constant challenge of the lack of guarantees required by traditional financial institutions.

Through this line, the Bank presented alternative, flexible and inclusive solutions aimed at female entrepreneurs working in the formal and informal fields.

During the event, the Bank also presented its approach to agency banking, an innovative solution aimed at bringing financial services to areas where traditional banking does not reach.

The solution offers women entrepreneurs not only access, but also the possibility of becoming agents of the Bank. This model generates inclusion, creates extra income and promotes local entrepreneurship.

The round table also included participatory dynamics, real-life testimonies, sharing of experiences and a final networking space, where the participants deepened contacts and strengthened synergies.

"We want to see more and more women leading, creating opportunities and transforming their communities. That is the impact we seek to generate. We believe that sustainable development is only possible with female empowerment," said Chiwetalu Obikwelu, Acting Managing Director of Access Bank Mozambique.

According to him, "one of the Bank's strategic pillars is to create inclusive, personalized and impactful solutions for all customers, and women play a central role in this vision".

Access Bank thus reaffirms its commitment to developing transformative solutions to stimulate the financial literacy and inclusion of Mozambicans, regardless of their geographical location.
