According to the statement released by the bank, this facility is a value-added service that allows business customers, especially small and medium enterprises to access quick and hassle-free instant loans with no queues and very minimal paperwork.
It states that the instant loans offer is a response to the longstanding challenge on access to finance and the time it takes for manual loan applications to be approved, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises.
It further states that the new solution also demonstrates and reaffirms the Bank’s commitment to providing cutting edge solutions for Basotho businesses, so that they have more time to invest in growing their businesses than spending it in the banking halls.
