I would be interested to know which financial institution is best
we got a loan previously and the bank we borrowed from has retained its rates at 21% even as other banks have slightly lowered their rates
@heri, Which bank and what are their terms? Do they accept Titles as collateral? do they require individual members as guarantors? What % of the members monthly deposits do they take for loan repayment?
Hey @Optimist,
I thought the %age of monthly contributions on repayment amount is decided by the group. So that, depending on your power, and the loan period, you decide what amount you want to go towards repaying the loan.
What majority would do is probably cut their monthly contribution to minimum allowed, then the rest goes to Loan repayment. For example.
If you always contribute 50K per month, yet minimum for groups is 5K a month. When you take a loan you can use 45K to repay and still be able to contribute the 5K.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.
