dfcu holds SME forum in Kawempe
Dfcu Bank one the fastest growing banks in Uganda continues to expand its Geographical Horizons in order to avail convenience to all their customers as well as to tap into the larger unbanked population who have no access to banking halls. As such, dfcu opened a branch in Kawempe in July of this year making it the 25th Branch of the Bank that already has a foothold in most of the major towns across the country including Mbarara, Kitgum, Mbale, Gulu and Arua.
On Wednesday October 13th 2010, dfcu hosted the top 150 businessmen and entrepreneurs in Kawempe to an SME forum at TICK hotel Kawempe. This was in part to officially launch to them the new dfcu Kawempe Branch but also as part of an ongoing dfcu project to develop and grow SMEs in the country th`rough dispensing of free knowledge on better investment techniques, opportunities and tips on how to manage businesses.
Similar projects include the Women in Business Forum that dfcu hosted earlier this year targeting women entrepreneurs and the Investment Club Forums that dfcu has hosted so far twice this year at different locations for their investment club members to empower them on sound business decisions. The Kawempe SME Forum was organized to bring Kawempe business people together, welcome them to the dfcu family as well as get some insight on what as a community, they expect from their banking institution.
Dfcu later treated the forum attendees to a cocktail where they mingled and networked with each other and also got a chance to meet with the rest of the dfcu relationship managers who supplied them with further information about other opportunities that the bank has to offer.
