New loans in the Széchenyi Card Programme

László Krisán, the CEO of KA-VOSZ informed entrepreneurs in Debrecen about two new types of loan for SMEs. KA-VOSZ, together with VOSZ and MKIK managed to achieve the expansion of the Széchenyi Card portfolio, so from August 2010 current asset loans and from September 2010 investment loans are also available for small and medium-sized enterprises. In January 2011 a programme for financing own resources will also start, helping enterprises to realise EU-funded projects. With the three elements of the Széchenyi Card Programme (current account, current asset and investment loans) an enterprise can take out loans up to HUF 100 million. KA-VOSZ reported that 180,590 cards have been applied for since the programme started and more than 135,000 have already been handed over, with which SMEs took out loans in the value of HUF 800 billion.
