This is a credit financing project of up to 200 thousand kwanzas, which should benefit street vendors known as zungueiras, with the aim of boosting their businesses, in an initiative by the Bank of Commerce and Industry (BCI).
The initiative presented as part of the celebrations of March 8th, International Women’s Day, marked yesterday, is national in scope and should cover all banking services to which traders are entitled.
Saleswoman Maria Zita is one of the potential beneficiaries of the credit to which she will sign up, and therefore praised the initiative with which she will be able to give another dynamic to the products she sells as well as the possibility she will have of receiving payment from customers.
“I am satisfied with this initiative because it will allow us to serve all customers from our counters, especially those who go shopping without physical cash and with this our business grows and the customer does not pass you by”, he noted.
In turn, the executive administrator of BCI, Jardel Duarte, clarified that the investment follows the help that his institution intends to give to the formalization of the informal market, therefore creating synergies for this to occur.
“Our objective for five months was to be with the women to understand what their difficulties were, so that we might respond. What is certain is that we have reached a good understanding, starting here at Sequele and we have no doubt that it will go well”, pointed out the bank manager.
It should be noted that the initiative is aligned with the institution’s objectives for the year 2024, in which it will expand its focus on projects within the framework of inclusion and financial literacy.
