The SME Finance Forum’s study visits are an integral part of our peer learning opportunities offered exclusively to our members. Whether members are looking to expand their SME lending, in the nascent stage of their SME lending, or just thinking about starting SME lending, the study visits offer the opportunity to learn best practices from highly respected peers.

In the framework of the Global SME Finance Forum 2016 in Beijing we offered to our members study visits to three Chinese institutions among which Bank of China.

Since its founding, Bank of China has been dedicated to helping SMEs expand in overseas markets. Over the past few years, the Bank has organized several matchmaking events for Chinese and non-Chinese SME owners to meet in person and forge ahead with cooperative arrangements. Such activities are usually supported by Bank of China’s overseas partners like UK Trade & Investment (UKTI). This study visit will share the experience of creating strategic partnerships to help SMEs get global exposure.  

The highlights of what Bank of China presented to our members is available on our Members-only app.
