GCB Bank's Head of SME Banking, Gabriel Siaw, emphasized the bank's nationwide initiative, which has already reached cities like Tamale, Kumasi, and Accra. The two-week program in Tema concluded on Friday, aiming to educate customers on managing their businesses, introducing emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), and showcasing the bank's financial products. Four tailored financing options were presented, including an unsecured SME business facility that allows for up to GH¢1 million in financing without collateral, contract financing for businesses with secured contracts, and invoice discounting for those awaiting payment on invoices. These options aim to provide MSMEs with accessible funding to meet various needs, from stock expansion to project delivery.",
