Not only do we make borrowing affordable, anyone who borrows from Northern Community Bank to buy school uniforms is expected to save into a savings account as they make loan repayments. These savings build up and act as collateral against the loan. They are fixed against the loan balance and can only be accessed once the borrower has fully repaid the loan or the loan balance is lower than the savings balance, when the borrower is allowed to take out the difference. As their loan balance decreases – savings build up, resulting in a savings pot when the loan is finished that can go towards next year’s school uniforms.
