Access Bank to support SMEs with N50bn interest-free loans
Over the past 26 years, Access Bank Plc. has evolved from an obscure Nigerian Bank into a world-class African financial institution. Today, we are one of the five largest banks in Nigeria in terms of assets, loans, deposits and branch network; a feat which has been achieved through a robust long-term approach to client solutions providing committed and innovative advice.
In light of the recent occurrences, Access Bank has announced that it will be supporting Nigerian businesses with 50 Billion Naira interest-free loans and grants.
- The events of recent days and weeks have been a difficult period in our country’s history. We have all been anxious, worried and pained at what we have seen in the media and what we have heard from our customers, our colleagues and our loved ones.
- As one of Nigeria‘s largest businesses serving every part of our society, it is our responsibility and duty to make a difference. Corporates cannot simply stand by and send messages of solidarity and then go back to ‘business as usual’ without helping get their customers and communities back on-track.
- Supporting business, large and small, is in our ONA and in recent years we have seen entrepreneurial spirit that filled us with hope and confidence in the future. Our young technology entrepreneurs have been building businesses that are celebrated globally and we have seen SMEs flourish and innovate across the country. There has been a set-back on this journey and we feel the hurt of our nation. We are committed to restarting businesses quickly but even more importantly to ensure we come out of this stronger and more successful together.
Therefore, we are announcing that we have set aside a minimum of N50bn (through interest-free loans and grants) to support the rebuilding of businesses and to bring greater opportunities. This will be used to support:
- The communities we live in, the people who protect us and the spaces that we need as communities to thrive.
- Our micro, small and medium sized businesses who employ most Nigerians and feed and educate our children.
- Our young population who represent the future and hope for our nation.
As we rebuild our nation, it is important to provide support for those who have suffered losses. This is why we launched the #All4One Recovery Program, a non-interest intervention fund designed to support businesses, empower youth and rebuild our communities.
We have also set aside funds for various youth empowerment programs to enable you to achieve your dreams. Simply visit accessbankplc.com/All4one for more information.
