At Bank Nizwa, we understand that SMEs play an important role in the nation’s economic growth, and the right financial support is essential for their development. However, a large number of SMEs are still unbanked, and a greater number still are unable to access financing acilities. This limited access is largely attributed to the level of perceived risks associated with SMEs.
We see SMEs as valuable business partners, and we are committed to address the unique banking needs of SMEs through continuous innovation and improvement of our product suite.
