Centred around their ground-breaking digital transaction banking platform, HNB TXB, the session educated the participants on how the platform could help them work towards seamless and efficient financial control, and subsequently how they could manage their payments, cash flow, and even tap into global trade.
“At HNB, we recognize the vital role SMEs play in driving economic growth, and we are committed to providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in today’s digital landscape.
