The workshop on ‘Developing and maintaining a successful relationship with your bank’ was held at the Commercial Bank Majlis in Doha Golf Club.
Enterprise Banking supports the growth and success of SMEs in Qatar by providing value added services such as workshops on topics relevant to their specific business needs.
The fifth edition of the workshop on SMEs examined how customers and their bank can have a mutually beneficial relationship. Customer strategies to improve their banking relationship, such as the benefits of proper bookkeeping and greater transparency were emphasised.
The workshop was conducted by Graham Moores, Instructor at School of Business Studies, College of the North Atlantic–Qatar (CNA-Q). Moores has over 25 years experience in industry and teaching.
Nadeem Khan, Head of Enterprise Credit at Commercial Bank, also spoke on the credit review process, the Bank’s reliance on a proper credit application and the Bank’s scope of due diligence. Khan also addressed pitfalls that customers can avoid in order to receive a fast and favourable credit response.
Kenneth Clark, Head of Enterprise Banking, Commercial Bank, said: “The theme of this workshop centres on banking relationships, as our aim is to help our customers receive fast and favourable credit responses.”
“We can better serve our customers if we build relationships based on trust, confidence in the information supplied to us, compliance with the Bank’s conditions and, a balanced expectation of what each party can deliver,” said Clark.
