About SBM Bank Expression of Interest: Kenya Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) - Access to financing

This activity is a component of a Dutch- funded Project in Kenya that is supporting Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE). SBM Bank is supporting this initiative because it aims to prepare our women-led exporter clients to improve business and financial management and cut the cost and time for accessing financing. The project's approach is designed to pre-qualify your business for financing so that when you need to draw down funds they can be provided quickly.

If you would like to join this program, please answer the questions about your business on the Expression of Interest (EoI) form below. By submitting the form to CBI you confirm your acceptance of the terms and conditions of participation. Your responses will be seen only by the CBI project team at this stage and will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. All personal and financial information will be securely stored in compliance with applicable Kenyan data protection regulations. If lending is considered, the bank would need to conduct a credit background check with the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB). For other analytical uses personal information connected with any financial data will be removed in our records. We will only share your personal details with other parties if you provide express permission.

You have full control over your information. You can view, edit, or withdraw your Expression of Interest at any time. Please answer the questions in this form accurately and completely then Click on the "Save" button, Click on the "Print" button to keep a personal copy, and finally Click on the "Submit" button to upload it, and any attachments to us.

If you have any queries, please contact: CBIWEE@privateequity-support.com with "WEE Kenya" in the subject line.
