Speaking at the NMB Executive Network
(NEN) event held here over the weekend and attended by various top end
and corporate customers, the Bank’s Head of Corporate Banking, Mr Nsolo
Mlozi said all the customers conducting international trade should be
technologically equipped.
According to Mr Mlozi for the time being
NMB had no plan to open branches outside the country advising its
Corporate and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to venture into modern
banking technology to facilitate quick and timely movement of money and
goods.
“We have heard a request from one of our
customers here that we should open a branch in Nairobi. It is a good
advice although it was not in our priority list at least for the time
being. The business world is rapidly changing into digital and I would
rather challenge our customers to adopt the same,” he said.
Mr Mlozi was responding to a concern
raised by Charles Marwa Warioba who asked for a bank despite its major
achievements to invest in a number of other areas including opening
branches outside Tanzania particulary in Kenya.
With internet and online banking, noted
Mr Mlozi, businesses were guaranteed of simplified transactions with
reduced manual and paper works hence increasing efficiency.
Earlier, the NMB Chief of Wholesale
Banking, Mr Richard Makungwa said meeting Corporates and SMEs was an
important session held annually for its customers to share with the Bank
and improve services.
“The today’s business climate is
advancing so sharply therefore meeting with you helps us come up with
new approaches to the challenges facing our businesses and how best we
can serve you,” he said.
