Hong Leong Finance opens fourth SME Centre
SME Centre@Yishun completes foundation network for SME customer services.
Hong Leong Finance, “Singapore Finance Company of the Year” award winner at the Asian Banking and Finance Retail Banking Awards 2011, opens its fourth SME Centre @ Branches. Situated along Yishun Ave 5, the centre completes the foundational network of SME Centres in the north, central, east and west of Singapore.
The network of SME Centres – located in Yishun, Bedok, Jurong and Farrer Park – ensures that small and medium enterprises across the island will travel no more than 30 minutes to access a centre easily. There, companies will have a conducive environment to consult on a comprehensive range of financial services and solutions such as trade financing, receivable financing, equipment financing, property financing and government-assisted financing schemes.
“As the saying goes ‘time is money’ and by strategically positioning ourselves closer to our customers, we help them save time and cost when it comes to addressing their financial needs,” noted HLF President, Ian Macdonald. “We aim to continue building on this customer-centric physical network.”
The new initiative, SME Centre @ Branches was first launched last September to provide convenient and efficient services for SMEs and it was part of the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations this year.
