ACCESS BANK NIGERIA PAYDAY LOAN

Tips To Get a Loan

1. Maintain an account with the bank. If the bank manages your funds, they will definitely know your “threshold”, as well as your financial reputation.
2. Have a definite amount and purpose in mind.
3. Clearly draw out a credible repayment plan. The bank won’t part with their fortune until they are sure of your capacity and commitment to pay back.
4. For start-ups, present a reasonable business plan. No one invests in a line he is not even sure of its realization.
5. Start something with the little funds available. Your commitment to your dream could spur the bank to bank on you.
6. Maintain a good financial record. Loans to some extent are given on trust. A bad debtor is generally considered unworthy of a loan. He may also not continue in his ‘usual’ ways.
7. Get close to your account officer. It is better for you if you have a personal relationship with your Account Officer. He will get to know your status, and recommend the best possible facility to fit your need.
8. Ensure you go for not more than a percentage of your annual income.
9. Provide every necessary document.
10. Offer appreciating collateral or a dependable guarantor.
