About SME Banking

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) are a priority among economic development goals, in both developed and emerging economies. SMEs are a primary driver for job creation and GDP growth. They contribute to economic diversification and social stability while playing an essential role in private sector development.

HABIBMETRO Bank provides financial inter-mediation to SMEs for varied requirements, including long-term and short-term financing working capital, trade-based and other structured loans.
