Under the alliance, female entrepreneurs and business owners will be offered a range of benefits to help them manage their businesses.
In addition to having improved access to Wio Bank’s business banking service Wio Business, women business owners and entrepreneurs will get access to financial management training, expert presentations, webinars, and focus groups that are co-led by signatories of the MoU.
