KCB Bank Uganda has launched a groundbreaking online bid bond application platform aimed at transforming how businesses secure bid bonds.
The platform allows customers to apply for unsecured bid bonds of up to shs500 million from any location, streamlining the tendering and contract bidding process for businesses.
The new digital service eliminates the need for in-person visits or email submissions, offering a seamless and efficient application process.
According to Mary Mukasa, Trade Finance Manager at KCB Bank, the platform enhances customer convenience by allowing businesses to apply for bid bonds online without the need for human intervention.
“The unsecured bid bond platform provides a fully digital service, enabling users to submit applications without traditional challenges,” Mukasa stated.
“With real-time updates and accessibility via both computers and smartphones, customers can now stay informed on the progress of their applications from anywhere.”
Targeting contractors and suppliers who frequently require bid bonds to participate in tenders, the platform addresses key issues such as speed, predictability, and enhanced communication with the bank.
By reducing the need for physical visits, it saves customers valuable time and resources.
To access the service, users can visit KCB Bank Uganda’s website and follow the dedicated link for bid bond applications, which Mukasa noted is user-friendly for both new and experienced customers.
