About
With the business banking landscape changing drastically over the past few years, many SME clients are facing difficulties getting the banking services they need and deserve. In this AccountingWEB webinar in association with Allica Bank, we’ll hear from two accountants about how they’ve helped their SME clients move their business banking to Allica Bank and the benefits they’ve seen, including a more personal service and access to products and rates designed for SME clients.
