To help more micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) go digital, UnionBank sealed a partnership with Ibero Asistencia, a global insurance, reinsurance, and services company, on October 7, 2019.

To maximize the vast potential of the digital world, UnionBank conducted a workshop with Ibero Asistencia’s providers to introduce UnionBank GlobalLinker - a digital platform for MSMEs that provides business and networking tools to help them go digital and grow globally. And best of all, it’s FREE.
