SMEs looking for solutions on their financial and development needs can now avail themselves to a complete host of options at the coming SME Bank XCESS 2022, a hybrid national business matching event taking place on 11 August 2022 at the World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

Dato’ (Dr.) Aria Putera Ismail, Group President/Chief Executive Officer of SME Bank said, “This yearly business matching event is different from the previous editions as we will have the presence of international trade partners and SMEs joining the event.”

Dato’ Aria added, “Our local SMEs will be able to connect and explore directly with them on the possibilities of being the suppliers, importers or business partners. This effort is expected to create wider market reach for our entrepreneurs.”
