Loan’s offered by MPSL are secured and affordable with repayments made easier. Every loan obtained from MPSL is charged at 1% per month on the reducing balance and can be comfortably repaid over a term of 1-36 months as per the member’s choice.
MPSL offers loans based on a member’s available savings and can lend from a minimum of K200.00. Per our Lending Policies, there is no maximum as this depends on a member’s savings balance.
We offer loans based on 1:1 and 1:2 basis as approved by the Bank of Papua New Guinea who is also the Registrar of Savings & Loan Societies.
Additional loans can be given to existing members at 1:1 or 1:2 ratio as long as the member has reduced his/her recent loan to 50%.
This is a compulsory lending ratio and savings is used as security. Under this loan product, a member can borrow the current savings balance that he/she have saved, or can borrow at 1:2 ratio, as long as the member is contributing for both the general savings and the loan security deposit savings.
Example: If you have K1, 000.00 in your savings account, you can borrow a maximum of K1, 000.00. However, at 1:2 ratio, if you have K1, 000 general savings, you’re eligible to apply for K2, 000 as long you have savings account of General Savings & Loan Security Deposits.
Housing loan is designed to assist members who are looking to build their own houses, or are looking to purchase furniture’s and building materials to complete their house.
