AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> LETSHEGO Bank Tanzania has extended a three-month loan repayment holiday to its customers to help them cushion the impact of the disruption caused by Covid-19, a severe flu related pandemic that continues to wreak havoc to businesses and life patterns globally.<\/p>\n

Briefing the media in Dar es Salaam about the decision yesterday, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Andrew Tarimo said, \u201cCoronavirus is a global crisis that has hit businesses hard without it being the fault of the business community.<\/p>\n

It is therefore our obligation to ensure we continue to coexist with our partners during this difficult time of doing business.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the relief was effective from April 1, this year and will run for three months, meaning up to the end of June.<\/p>\n

The CEO further called on their customers to contact Bank officials for assessment and restructuring of their loan portfolios.<\/p>\n

He explained furthermore that hardest hit were SMEs in the tourism, education and travel sectors as well as the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Bank, we felt that we needed to deliver this benefit in order to allow businesses to continue operating efficiently,\u201d Mr Tarimo said.<\/p>\n

The bank Chief\u2019s reiterated that Letshego Bank Tanzania was committed to continue providing retail and business financial services through physical presence, strategic alliances and digital platforms.<\/p>\n

He explained that their customers can still apply for loans through their Call Centre, WhatsApp for business and Web applications, the Bank keeps a presence on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The same platforms too have more information on the Bank\u2019s business continuity programmes during this shaky period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
