Loan-making procedure and approval
There are three main steps in the processing of loan requests.
All application for loans should be directed to the Branch where the applicant's account is held. On receipt of a request for loan, the applicant may be invited for an interview. An application form may then be completed.

2. The credit officer of the branch will verify the information furnished by the applicant. Where applicable, the project site is visited. The credit officer will assemble the necessary data to assess the applicant's credit needs and also ascertain the economic, financial, managerial, marketing/commercial and technical aspects of the proposed project.

3. The credit officer finally prepares an appraisal report for the consideration of the appropriate loan-approving authority. Depending on the amount of loan involved, the credit recommendations will be considered at any of the following levels:
