National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RakBank) has partnered with Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) UAE, to support the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sector in the UAE.
EO is a global community of entrepreneurs founded in 1987 with more than 11,000 plus members worldwide and with 147 chapters in 48 countries. It helps leading entrepreneurs learn and grow through peer-to-peer lending. The UAE chapter of EO has 80 members.
