Sidian Bank has secured Sh500 million from African Guarantee Fund (AGF) for onward lending to local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
The bank on Wednesday said the agreement is part of the effort to bridge the financing gap facing SMEs in the country. The partnership would support the growth of small businesses through provision of guarantees for the bank’s customer loan facilities.
