CRDB BANK LAUNCHES AFFORDABLE SCHOOL FEES LOANS
Dar es Salaam: CRDB Bank has launched school fees loans for primary and secondary school students across the country.
The loans, Ada Fasta, loaned through the SimBanking App, are part of CRDB’s ongoing efforts to meet the needs and expectations of its customers, helping them overcome financial challenges.
CRDB Bank Acting Managing Director and CEO, Fredrick Nshekanabo, said yesterday that any parent or guardian can borrow up to 3 Million Tanzania Shillings, which they can repay within six months.
“The loan interest rate is only 13 per cent per annum, which is a much lower rate compared to what is available in the market,” Mr. Nshekanabo said.
Mr. Nshekanabo said that the service is being launched at a time when January is traditionally a month filled with significant financial challenges such as school fees, rent and other essential needs, especially after some people have spent substantial when celebrating the year-end holidays.
CRDB, a customer-centric bank, is always designing products and services that meet the needs of its clients, according to Mr. Nshekanabo.
The lender, one of the biggest in the country, for over a decade, introduced and promoted the School Fees Management System, which is now used by over 1,000 schools nationwide.
“All parents whose children are in schools using this system—whether they are CRDB customers or not—can benefit from this loan,” Mr. Nshekanabo said.
BENKI YA CRDB YAANZA KUTOA MIKOPO YA ADA SHULE ZA MSINGI, SEKONDARI
Akizindua mikopo hiyo inayotolewa kupitia Programu ya SimBanking, Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Benki ya CRDB, Fredrick Nshekanabo amesema kila mzazi au mlezi mwenye uhitaji anaweza kupata mkopo huo ili kumruhusu mwanafunzi kuendelea na masomo kulingana na ratiba ya muhula husika.
Mkurugenzi huyo amesema wameizindua huduma hiyo kipindi hiki wakitambua kuwa Januari ni mwezi wenye changamoto nyingi za kifedha zinazotokana na mahitaji makubwa yanayokuwepo ikiwamo ada za wanafunzi, kodi ya nyumba na mahitaji mengine muhimu hasa baada ya kila mtu kuwa ametumia kiasi kikubwa cha fedha kusherehekea sikukuu za mwisho wa mwaka.
Ikiwa Benki inayomsikiliza mteja na kumweka mbele katika mikakati ya biashara, amesema wakati wote wanabuni huduma na bidhaa zinazokidhi mahitaji ya wateja na Januari hii wamekuja na jambo jipya mahususi kwa kila mzazi au mlezi wa mwanafunzi nchini.
“Hii ni fursa kwa shule zote binafsi nchini kujiunga na mfumo huu wa makusanyo ya ada ili kutoa fursa kwa wazazi kukopa ada wakati wowote watakapohitaji ili watoto waendelee na masomo yao. Wazazi wote waliopo kwenye shule zinazoutumia mfumo huu wawe ni wateja wetu ama la, wanayo fursa ya kunufaika na mikopo hii,” amesema Nshekanabo.
Kwa kuwawezesha wazazi na walezi kulipa ada kwa wakati, Nshekanabo amesema wana imani watakuwa wamesaidia kuboresha elimu kwa kuwawezesha wanafunzi kuhudhuria masomo yao bila vikwazo huku shule zikiweza kujiendesha na kutoa maarifa bora yanayohitajika kwa watoto wa Kitanzania.
Kwa mzazi au mlezi ambaye ameajiriwa na mshahara wake unapitia Benki ya CRDB, anaweza kupata mkopo wa ada kwa kuingia kwenye Programu ya SimBanking kisha akabofya sehemu ya mikopo ambako atatakiwa kuingiza ‘control number’ aliyotumiwa na shule kwa ajili ya malipo ya ada na programu itamwonyesha kiasi cha juu anachoruhusiwa kukopa.
Ukiacha faida zilizopo kwa pande zote mbili yaani shule na mzazi au mlezi, mfumo wa makusanyo ya ada wa Benki ya CRDB ni rahisi kuutumia kwani mteja anaweza kulipa ada kupitia SimBanking, CRDB Wakala au kutembelea tawi la Benki ya CRDB.
