Capital Loans

These loans are granted for capital finance purposes for a period of up to 3 years. The funds are used by companies for fixed assets purchases, reconstruction and development, consequently resulting in business expansion or launching of new business lines. The interest rate on these loans is determined taking into account the risk and return for the particular customer (business), while the repayment schedule is being tailored to meet the expected future cash flows generated from the capital investment.

These loans are usually granted at a fixed interest rate.

The commercial credit and trade facilities offered by our bank generally require adequate security cover to be provided by the customer. Security is not the primary factor for the assessment of a proposal, however the availability of an adequate collateral securing the extended commercial credit and trade facilities is necessary. We accept the following types of securities:

Primary security Additional security
Marginal Deposit; Term Deposit under lien Pledge over plant, equipment, machinery & vehicles
Mortgage over land, as well as mortgage over residential & commercial property Floating charge over stock
First Class Bank’s Guarantee Personal/Joint & Several/Corporate Guarantees

The acceptable level of the security/facility ratio is determined taking into consideration the customer's credit history, facility amount, security type, availability of audited financial accounts, risk and return considerations, and degree of liquidity of the security. Generally, the security/facility ratio is determined as the ratio between the appraised value of tangible security and the overall limit of the extended facilities.
