Fibank (First Investment Bank) has launched a program specially
tailored for women in business, as a result of extensive research
and discussions with experts and female entrepreneurs.
The program, titled Smart Lady, is implemented in partnership
with MasterCard. It features not only lending opportunities, but
also a number of other financial and non-financial solutions that
offer support and security to business women. Those include a wide
range of loan products offered at preferential terms, with flexible
repayment plans and maturities of up to 5 years for working capital
and 15 years for investment loans.
Another option is the grace period on principal payments during
maternity leave which may reduce monthly installments by up to 75%
over a period of 15 months. During that time the bank will only
require interest payments on the loan used. The Smart Lady program
also offers a number of additional benefits such as children's
savings accounts with growing interest rate, Diners Club First Lady
credit cards that come with breast cancer insurance, discounts on
purchases in over 400 retail outlets, access to VIP lounges at
airports, and other club privileges.
Among the most attractive features of the Smart Lady program are
the two integrated health and accident insurance policies provided
by FiHealth Insurance.
By this program, Fibank aims to provide female entrepreneurs
with financial support and cooperation at every stage of their
business development. Among the planned activities are a number of
conferences, trainings and seminars where they will be able to
exchange experience and receive professional advice. An electronic
platform is under development that will provide online training and
information updates on relevant topics.
"The Smart Lady program offers a range of financial and
non-financial solutions specially designed for women. It is the
result of studies and discussions with experts and business ladies.
Our goal is to establish Fibank as a successful business partner of
female entrepreneurship," said Mr. Nedelcho Nedelchev, Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of the Management Board of
Fibank.
First Investment Bank is a public company, with Mr. Tzeko Minev
and Mr. Ivailo Mutafchiev as majority shareholders.
