Studies have found that banks usually refuse to engage with women business owners or, if they do, charge exorbitant interest rates and demand significant collateral for even small loans. Deprived of working capital, an untold number of promising small businesses fail to take off or remain well below their potential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Closely enmeshed with the communities in which it operates, Tanzania Women\u2019s Bank is able to lend a helping hand by knowing its customers. The bank\u2019s staff seeks to establish a true partnership with clients in order to properly understand their needs, gauge the potential of their businesses, and offer advice \u2013 and credit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TWB also maintains a full suite of current and savings accounts tailored to the requirements and demands of each demographic. The bank offers, for example, accounts that help minors gain financial literacy skills and women wishing to secure their family\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CFI.co judging panel has followed the trajectory of TWB for a number of years and has noted the bank\u2019s achievements in helping women-led businesses break through the glass ceiling. As an instrument of social and economic empowerment, TWB has a significant impact on Tanzania\u2019s national development. Moreover, the bank enables women to benefit from the country\u2019s buoyant economy and, by doing so, helps redress social injustice. The judging panel declares Tanzania Women\u2019s Bank winner of the 2018 Best Social Impact Bank Tanzania Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empowering women entrepreneurs across the country, Tanzania Women\u2019s Bank (TWB), set up in 2007 and open for business since 2009, aims to simplify the provision of credit and know-how to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5944,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-front"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.6 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
