We understand that some of them still have major financing challenges on account of cost of credit, over trading, lack of collateral, bargaining power of suppliers and competition from foreign companies among other things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The turnaround time for a bid guarantee is long for most of the contractors to get financing from the banks. dfcu Bank is constanstly refining its trade finance customer value proposition to support local contractors,\u201d said Kasasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the products include Unsecured products such as bid guarantees of up to UGX 500,000,000, contract financing of up UGX 100,000,000 for the contractor to start on the job, and invoice discounting of up to UGX 200,000,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unfunded products include invoice or certificate discounting, contract financing and asset financing while the bouquet of unfunded products includes Performance guarantees, Letters of Credit, Advance payment guarantees, Retention guarantees, and Supplier guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eng. Joseph Otim, the UNRA Director Road Maintenance appreciated the customer engagement and commended dfcu Bank for the effort made in supporting local contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cI would like to thank dfcu Bank for realizing the importance of UNRA to dfcu. The issue of customer engagement is quite important and one of UNRA\u2019s core values is to be customer centric. If you don\u2019t hear from the contractors, it means there is something wrong. You must get feedback to know how you\u2019re performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are available opportunities in UNRA \u2013 we have tried to look for deliberate ways of developing and bringing up local contractors. We now have a directive where there is a certain value of contracts that should be only contracted to local contractors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>dfcu Bank continues to hold similar engagements with its customers in different sectors of the economy. Previously, it held similar sessions with customers in the NGO and Power sectors and has another planned for its customers in the Oil &amp; Gas sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>dfcu Bank recently held a customer engagement workshop with prospective customers in the roads construction sector in Uganda.
