Stanbic IBTC Bank Empowers Women in Business for Inclusive Growth

Women entrepreneurs play a vital role in Nigeria’s economy. They drive innovation, create jobs, and build resilient businesses. Stanbic IBTC Bank recognises its impact and is committed to supporting its growth through tailored financial solutions. One key offering is the Blue Blossom Account.

This account is designed to help women overcome common financing challenges. It provides easier access to business finance in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Sustainable Banking Principles. Women business owners enjoy zero current account maintenance (CAM) fees, concessionary loan rates, and access to business clinic sessions. These benefits make the Blue Blossom Account more than just a product—it’s a practical tool for growth.

Stanbic IBTC Bank also offers lending solutions like SME Lite and SME EZ Cash. These options help women-led businesses secure working capital, fund expansion, or invest in new opportunities. With flexible terms and accessible financing, the bank is assisting more women grow their businesses.

Support goes beyond finance.

Through its SME Collab customer value proposition, the bank offers training and curates events to help women manage their businesses and connect with other entrepreneurs. A key highlight is the Bloom Weekend, an empowerment event that brings together thousands of women entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders. The event features masterclasses, financial advisory, and a vibrant trade fair where women showcase their businesses. It also provides an avenue for networking and having fun.

Digital tools also play a role. With POS terminals, the Enterprise Online internet banking platform, and the SME Mobile App, women entrepreneurs can manage payments and cash flow more efficiently. These solutions make it easier to run a business and reach more customers.

By focusing on women-led businesses, Stanbic IBTC Bank is helping to build a more inclusive and vibrant economy. Supporting women is not just the right thing to do—it’s a smart investment in Nigeria’s future.
