We are pleased to announce a partnership with CapitalPlus Exchange (CapPlus) that allows us to expand the SBBN network CapPlus piloted to a much broader range of industry players including fin tech companies and investment funds.

The SBBN is being phased out over 2015 and its membership merged with that of the SME Finance Forum. As members of the SME Finance Forum, institutions will benefit from an expanded set of offerings.

The CapPlus team will partner with the SME Finance Forum to support the expanded network, helping to provide peer learning services, webinars, forums and high-level meetings. Separately, CapitalPlus Exchange will continue to provide capacity building services to financial institutions focusing on small and growing businesses.

We look forward to working together with CapPlus and many other committed organizations to build an even more impactful network supported by the G20 to help advance finance for SMEs.
