U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank sign finance agreement for a USD 200 million loan to facilitate financial access and reduce the credit gap for women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) while addressing climate issues. This project is projected to have a developmental impact by providing loans to SMEs, with a portion dedicated to women-owned SMEs, energy efficiency-related projects, and retail clients, including individual entrepreneurs. With support from DFC, SeABank will enhance its financial capability to carry out projects targeting women-owned SMEs, dealing with the credit gap between the addressable demand of the market and the existing supply in the economy.

Additionally, the Bank is committed to international standards while continuously improving its environmental and management system and policies to help address climate issues.
