Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) has launched Zawadi, a special account for women running Small and Medium Enterprises. The account is designed to enable women access favourable credit terms to grow their businesses from one stage to the next.

The account was launched at a financial literacy forum in Nakuru attended by more than 3,000 women owning and running SMEs. The bank also introduced a special account for the small savings groups commonly referred to as chamas.

The SMEs that open either of the accounts with DTB will be eligible for a credit facility after 6-months to enable them to grow their businesses accordingly.

Speaking at the SME engagement, DTB Director Sales Dr Kennedy Nyakomitta said: “The Zawadi account is specifically tailored to enhance Financial Literacy for women-owned businesses and inculcate necessary skills required to run their businesses effectively to enable them to take advantage of the financial opportunities offered by banks.”
