Some of the innovative solutions for SMEs include e-commerce payment platforms like EazzyBiz, Eazzy Stock, and card payments. \u201cEquity Bank Uganda has made it easier for SMEs to retail their goods and services on online marketplaces such as Kikubo Online and Jumia,\u201d Olany explained.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the bank\u2019s mission, he stated, \u201cEquity\u2019s goal is to champion financial inclusion by offering integrated financial solutions that socially and economically empower our customers using innovative technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event also featured presentations from other industry experts, including Gerald Oola, Industry Solutions Manager at Huawei Technologies Uganda, who delivered the keynote address.
