Our core Value Propositions include Collections and Cash Management. This solution was enabled by state-of-the-art technology, which we had invested heavily in, pre-pandemic and has therefore proven timely. These solutions are particularly useful for organisations with large-volume deposit requirements. CalBank’s Collections portals and platforms provide data enrichment, facilitate reconciliation, and allows for customizable reports.
Additionally, we understand the needs of our corporate entities and we position ourselves to respond to their needs. Knowing the need of our corporate entities for multi-currency denominated credit facilities, we, therefore, as part of our offerings provide asset financing and working capital facilities.
Whereas our asset finance solution provides short, medium- and long-term financing for capital expenditure and investments and supporting businesses to procure assets such as land, buildings, plant & machinery, vehicles and other capital expenditure items, our working capital facilities helps to finance the short term operational needs and recurrent expenses of our corporate clients through Overdrafts, Credit Lines, Invoice Discounting, Receivables Financing and Inventory Financing.
Our expertise in trade finance is unmatched in the industry. We offer a comprehensive range of international trade and commodity financing solutions for importers, exporters, and traders.

As a forward-thinking digital Bank, our dynamic online banking solution is designed with the primary aim of facilitating and automating payments made by our corporate clients and providing them unfettered access to their accounts on a secured network.
The portal allows our clients to initiate and process payments directly through the Bank’s core banking software without any intervention from the Bank. Clients can therefore make payments directly to suppliers, service providers, regulators, employees et cetera with the utmost convenience.
How do we support our clients?
The value offered our corporate clients is enhanced through strategic partnerships with certain key entities such as government, state owned enterprises, private businesses etc. both domestically and internationally. We do so because to borrow the words of Helen Keller, alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
So, as a team, we believe the success of our corporate clients’ businesses will take care of themselves once we are moving forward together.
