Kampala — Stanbic Bank Uganda has today launched the ‘Now-Now loans’ campaign aimed at offering customers quick and affordable loans to overcome financial challenges in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
All Stanbic’s loan products have also been migrated onto digital platforms, making them paperless, easy to access in real time and at customer’s convenience. The plan includes enabling those transferring their loans to Stanbic to enjoy zero management fees.
Announcing the new ‘Now-Now Loans’ package, Grace Muliisa, the Stanbic Bank’s Head of Personal and Business Banking said the campaign will offer exciting loan offerings tailored to suit businesses getting back on their feet after the COVID-19 pandemic effects.
"This lending solution comes with unique benefits of a low interest of up to 15.9%, insurance cover, and much more. However, the rates might be subject to changes based on individual loan assessment," Muliisa said.
"We understand that the impact of the novel Covid-19 pandemic still exists. A host of individuals both in the private and public sector, continue to experience financial stress. This coupled with a high cost of living and delayed payments, has depleted their savings reserves" Muliisa explained.
She added, "What this means, is that they are unable to cater for their day-to-day needs, pay for essential services like healthcare, education and grow financially thus unable to live a decent livelihood. As the bank that drives Uganda’s growth, Stanbic’s focus is to identify key financial obstacles that stand in the way of our customers from attaining an affordable financial service to enhance personal growth."
Muliisa also noted, "It’s because of such hindrances that Stanbic revamped its loans offering to not only allow customers resolve their current financial needs, but also ensuring these loans take them to the next level of their growth."

We believe this year comes with new possibilities and with Stanbic Bank as a financial partner, it all can be," Juuko said.
