In its efforts to work with representatives of both small and medium-sized businesses, the First Ukrainian International Bank (FUIB) held a round table discussion titled Support of the SMB: Financing Today in Pavlograd on Oct. 3.

More than 60 small and medium businesses were represented at the round table, where discussions of alternative financing instruments and factoring were held.

This is not the first round table event that FUIB has participated in this year – the organization held another similar event in Dnipropetrovsk on Sept. 19.

"In the the world banking practice more and more attention is paid to the non-financial services, including holding of educational events for the customers," Olena Rudik, the head of the department that works with small and medium-sized businesses at FUIB, said. "When organizing round tables, we always strive to ensure that these activities are maximally informative for the customers. And judging by the responses of the participants, we succeed in this. We were pleased with a number of customers and the feedback from the audience - factoring arouses considerable interest of the customers.”
