Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Banking & Finance (IIBF) to launch a comprehensive E-Learning and Certification programme focused on the MSME sector for all IOB officers.
The MoU was formalised in the presence of Ajay Kumar Srivastava, Managing Director & CEO of IOB, Joydeep Dutta Roy, Executive Director, and other senior dignitaries.
This collaboration aligns with IOB’s continuous efforts to strengthen internal capacities in MSME banking and reaffirms its commitment to fostering financial inclusion and economic growth.
