At Standard Bank Namibia, we believe that “More is Possible.” This is not just a slogan; it is the cornerstone of our mission to empower clients and drive Namibia’s economic growth. Our commitment to businesses is rooted in a partnership approach that seeks to unlock new opportunities and overcome challenges together.

Through our new campaign “More is Possible” we invite our clients to imagine what their businesses could achieve with the right support. What if you could grow your business, secure funding for larger projects, or transition to more environmentally friendly business practices? These are not just hypothetical scenarios but attainable goals that we strive to help our clients realise. Our goal is to ensure that ambition is matched with capability by offering solutions that drive business success at every stage.

Supporting Business Growth Through Strategic Initiatives

Standard Bank Namibia is committed to creating an environment that enables businesses to prosper. The recent directive from the Ministry of Finance allows ministries and state-owned enterprises to sign cessions for purchase orders or contracts awarded to businesses. We view this as a significant opportunity for growth. With a verified purchase order, our Trade Solutions provide the liquidity necessary for businesses to fulfil their contracts. This ensures that cash flow constraints do not hinder potential growth, allowing businesses to seize new opportunities confidently.

Partnering with the Tourism Sector

The tourism industry in Namibia has seen a remarkable resurgence post-Covid 19, with bed occupancy rates soaring. Recognising this potential, Standard Bank Namibia is committed to playing a strategic role in the sector’s growth. We provide funding for infrastructure growth—whether it involves adding more rooms or upgrading existing facilities to attract higher-end clientele. Furthermore, we offer working capital solutions to help businesses manage the cyclical nature of tourism, ensuring players in the sector can maintain operations during off-peak periods. By doing so, we hope to contribute to Namibia’s overall economic development.

Transitioning to Sustainable Practices

As the global focus shifts toward sustainability, Standard Bank Namibia is leading the way in supporting businesses in this transition. Our Climate Smart Financing solutions are tailored to help businesses adopt greener and sustainable practices. We are committed to fostering long-term profitability and environmental responsibility through investments in renewable energy, water-efficient technologies, or land restoration. Our goal is to position businesses to not only thrive economically but also to contribute positively to the planet.

Financial Assistance to SMEs

Standard Bank Namibia is a partner in the Economic Relief Scheme in collaboration with the Namibian government and the Bank of Namibia. This initiative is crucial for assisting businesses in recovering from challenges and expanding their operations. By providing funding to SMEs, we empower them to acquire assets and fulfil contracts, driving economic recovery across Namibia. We believe that through strong partnerships, we can create a resilient business ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders.

At Standard Bank Namibia, we are more than just a financial institution; we are a partner in growth. Our unwavering commitment to helping businesses realise their potential is reflected in every service we offer.

As we continue to embrace the ethos of “More is Possible,” we invite businesses across Namibia to join us on this journey of growth, innovation, and sustainability. Together, we can unlock new possibilities and drive meaningful and sustainable change in the Namibian economy.
