Absa Kenya Plc Managing Director Jeremy Awori announced that the bank has revamped its Wezesha SME proposition to include unsecured loans of up to KSh 10 million and LPO financing and invoice discounting of up to KSh 50 million. It also announced plans to launch an SME Tool that will enable owners of small businesses to perform important functions like online planning and cashflow management.
