Providus Bank has launched the Training to Transaction (T2T) Programme, an initiative designed to help African small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) transition from export readiness to active participation in international trade. The program, in partnership with Borderless Trade and Investment, Duchess of the Netherlands, and the Global African Business Association under the ECOWAS at 25 Programme, aims to bridge the gap between training and actual transaction execution. It offers practical capacity building, compliance alignment, and direct market access to global markets including Africa, the United States, the Caribbean, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The T2T Programme targets high-growth sectors such as agro-processing, cosmetics, beverages, garment making, textiles, leather, and tanning, aligning with Providus Bank's strategy to empower indigenous enterprises and integrate them into global value chains.
