In order to facilitate the process for borrowers eligible to the Bank of Mauritius' COVID-19 Household Support Programme, SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd has set up a dedicated webpage entitled 'COVID-19 Household Support Programme', available on its website at www.sbmbank.com where customers can, on top of viewing the terms and conditions to benefit from this scheme, also apply online.
“SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd has been engaged, for some years now, on a digitalisation strategy which consists, amongst others, in leveraging on technology to facilitate banking for our customers. This is especially pertinent nowadays with the COVID-19 pandemic prevailing and where it is important to provide customers with the safest and most user-friendly way of banking, for instance with SBM easy-pay, a digital payment service available on our Internet Banking and SBM Mobile App services, recently launched to allow customers to pay for their bills and transactions to a selected list of merchants. With the dedicated webpage on the COVID-19 Household Support Programme, customers can apply from the comfort and security of their homes. All applications are then assessed in accordance with the Bank of Mauritius' guidelines and, if the applicant meets all the criteria, he or she will be able to benefit from this support scheme,” says Mr. PV Rao, Chief Executive of SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd.
