Kariakoo traders receive financial services training

Kariakoo businessmen have received financial training offered by the Dar es Salaam Commercial Bank (DCB) focused on savings and access to soft loans from the bank.

The training follows the bank’s midweek opening of a new branch at the country’s busiest market bringing financial services closer to the people.

Speaking during the official opening ceremony of the branch on Wednesday in the City, Director General of DCB Commercial Bank PLC, Edmund Mkwawa said businessmen need training on saving in regards to time and place and related profits to be reaped.

 “Most business people do not have enough knowledge on how they can save their money as well as the right place for them to get loans for their business and life improvement,” he said citing that the new branch will open up another avenue for DCB to offer its unmatched banking services to its ever-growing population of customers.

Mkwawa said that the new branch is a reflection of the Bank’s strong business growth, increased customer base and its commitment to offer tailor made services to its customers and the business community at large.

“Dar es Salaam being the hub of Tanzania’s commerce and business, we witness a massive increase of customers who subscribe to our services from the region. With a range of 8 branches in the city, coupled with several innovative services, the bank is a step ahead to ensure that its customers meet their busy schedules by getting fast and excellent banking services from DCB,” said Mkwawa.

Mkwawa also said the bank uses its 195 agencies from Maxcom network that have been authorised by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) to offer their services.
“Our intention is to involve many people in financial inclusion giving them the capacity to expand their business so and boost national income in general,” he said.
