Solution Summary

Choosing an international bank that will be able to support the multinational enterprise (MNE) is of the utmost importance. The needs of the firm have to be matched to the essentials the potential bank will offer. Basically, the bank offerings have to be in complete alignment with the firms' needs; otherwise their "partnership" will not be successful.
Some of the factors to consider when selecting the financial institution revolve around matching the firm's corporate financial strategies, with the financial institutions' offerings. This alliance / association will allow the MNE to better assess the opportunities offered by the international market and will also provide a mechanism for the firm to attain and manage its working capital.
