Dar es Salaam, May 25, 2018… NMB Bank Plc ‘NMB’ has announced the reduction of its loan
interest rates from 19 percent to 17 percent for salaried workers loans aiming at attracting
more customers to access its loan facilities.

has lowered the rates to 17 percent down from 19 percent for both public and private sector
employees.

NMB Bank’s minimum loan remains at TZS 200,000 and the maximum one can take up to TZS
150 Million depending on one’s salary and only takes 24 hours for loan processing until a
customer receives the loan.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam, The NMB Bank’s Managing Director – Ineke Bussemaker said the
bank has taken broad steps towards creating a solution for workers whose salary goes
through their NMB Accounts.

“For a long time, customers have been asking for the reduction of interest rates, we have
now approved a huge reduction of interest rates that comes with best offers including a free
processing fee for 6 weeks from today” said Ms Bussemaker.

Ms Bussemaker said customers feedback is very important to the bank and apart from the
reduction of interest rates, the bank has also extended the repayment period from a
maximum of 60 Months to 72 Months (5 years to 6 years) for employees from private and
civil servants.

that will continue to expand customer’s opportunities,” said Ms Bussemaker.
The bank announced that its personal loans will now be available at an interest rate of 17
percent down from 19 percent for both public servant and private sector employees.

(HESLB) facilities for those who still owe the loan board, we will take the burden by clearing
the loan and give them a longer repayment period.” Said Ms Bussemaker.

take over of Loan Board facilities and settle them at once and avoid penalties imporsed by loan
board.
