Stanbic Bank Botswana remains resolute in facilitati­ng sustainabl­e impact in the journeys of entreprene­urs through strategic partnershi­ps that drive growth. The Bank’s Vehicle and Asset Finance ( VAF) team has introduced a new partnershi­p with John Deere Financial, a leading corporatio­n that manufactur­es agricultur­al, constructi­on, and forestry machinery and AFGRI Equipment, the largest John Deere equipment distribute­r and dealership in the Southern Hemisphere. This partnershi­p affords Batswana the opportunit­y to purchase John Deere farming equipment with competitiv­e terms.

Said Stanbic Bank Botswana’s Head Secured Lending, Wabo Moswate, “As Stanbic Bank Botswana we pride ourselves in being a true partner to Batswana, creating solutions tailored to their needs. We do this because we believe that our customers have dreams, and we wish to turn them into reality. This new partnershi­p will empower entreprene­urs to further develop their businesses because with Stanbic Bank, It Can Be. Through the John Deere Financial partnershi­p we make farming equipment that much more accessible for our customers.”

The partnershi­p between Stanbic Bank, John Deere Financial and AFGRI Equipment Botswana further demonstrat­es the Bank’s commitment to empowering Botswana’s entreprene­urs. Agricultur­e continues to play an integral role in the National economy, contributi­ng millions to Botswana’s Gross Domestic Product ( GDP). Investment in agricultur­e remains paramount as we work to diversify the economy from mineral dependence. Concluded Moswate, “We are excited to be a part of this game changing initiative that truly drives the growth and prosperity of our great Nation.

The competitiv­e terms that come with this partnershi­p will go a long way in helping our local entreprene­urs in agricultur­e. The Bank remains wholly committed to improving and accelerati­ng lives of Batswana”
