To further contribute to this endeavor, we present we-initiative.com, a unique and innovative platform allowing you to connect, interact and share experiences and contribute by writing articles and giving suggestions to other women. It is by bringing together the experiences and expertise of women like you and through this collective input that tangible improvements and opportunities will arise and result in developing your business, enhancing your career and achieving your personal and financial goals.

The We Initiative puts you at the center stage as we strive to deliver what matters to you no matter who you are, what you do or who you bank with.

Because we value you, we, at BLC Bank, have dedicated resources to learn and better understand your concerns, needs, challenges and aspirations, and to recognize your strengths and ambitions. We have designed the We Initiative to bring to you relevant and innovative products and services, and to enhance your financial and networking opportunities, as well as capacity building.

As the first Bank in the region committed to women’s economic empowerment, BLC Bank has developed internal and external programs to become the bank of choice and the employer of choice for Lebanese women. We are the first Bank in the Middle East and North Africa region to be committed to the UN Women Empowerment Principles, to be a member of the Global Banking Alliance for Women and to create a unit exclusively dedicated to supporting and serving women.
