Albaraka Bank Personal Loans
Albaraka Bank, one of the most remarkable and reliable banking companies in South Africa, has gained prestige and experience due to dealing with the different financial difficulties the citizens of the country experience. Based on that, they have developed four different types of loans, all of which will adjust to different needs a person ca experience throughout his life.
What type of loan does Albaraka offers?
ASSET FINANCE:
The main aim of this type of finance is that the customer is able to purchase equipment or machinery that his business needs to as to establish itself in the market and gain in terms of competition with similar businesses. Together with this loan, there come flexible repayment periods and monthly installments. What is more, the client can use the money for whatever he likes, and it can be to buy a new vehicle for the company, new machines for the industry and other type of assets that will surely benefit the lives of businessmen.
Now, the moment the client has access to the funds, he can be considered the owner of such asset, by signing a simple contract with the bank and the company that the client bough the asset from.
Please bear in mind, that monthly installments as well as repayment periods will stay fixed, so the client cannot ask for the modification of them under no circumstances.
MOTOR VEHICLE FINANCE
As you can expect from the name this finance is called, it enables clients to gain access to a motor vehicle with a little financial help from the bank. This vehicle can be useful either for the family of the client or for the business the client has just started up. So, after the company has evaluated and determined which motor vehicle will make you happy, you can start to know the different features of such loan, which will of course be adapted to your personal needs and your income.
So, with this finance the bank is enabled to buy the motor vehicle you have chosen and then the company can sell it directly to you at a good price. Moreover, you will need to sign an agreement in which there appears some fees and financing terms. Again, you cannot ask the bank to make modifications to contracts, and you need to understand that the procedure will be finished after you have signed the Murabaha contract.
As regards the payment period for this loan, it will be adapted to your budget and it can extend to over 72 months. But, if you decide to pay for the loan in a shorter period, it can also be possible and the monthly installments will be reduced. So, it is advisable to pay in the shortest period possible.
Before finishing with this type of loan, let me stress the fact even though the bank will give you access to a minimum deposit, that deposit can be increased with the passing of time and that means paying less monthly installments.
PROPERTY FINANCE
This type of finance will enable you to buy the home of your dreams, which of course means one of the longest commitments you will ever make in your life, so you need to choose wisely in terms of the house you choose and the company you operate with. The house will depend on the area where you want to live, the type of house you would like to possess and so on.
This loan comes along with long financing periods of more than 5 years and you will need to pay monthly installments, just like it is the case with other loans. The interest rates of those installments will be fixed by Albaraka. As it is the case with the previous loans, the customer must sign the contract and cannot ask for modifications of it in the short term.
Now, it is advisable that you speak to a consultant of the company about what are your housing needs, before you decide to apply for a home loan like this one. Then, once they evaluate what you are looking for, you will be given the most affordable option.
TRADE FINANCE
What can I get from a Trade Finance?
The main aim of this type of finance is to help you participate in trade with your current business, which is something very common when you want your business to expand and raise in the market.
A Trade Finance is typically based on some Islamic principles, so as to guarantee that the client is really enjoying the experience in the trade sector. So, the company can buy a commodity that the customer requests and then sell that commodity to the client based on the contract granted by Murabaha. The price for selling the commodity comes along with several repayment options and also a special profit.
In order for you to find the best Trade Finance Package, I recommend you to speak with a representative of this sector of the bank, so that they find the most suitable finance for you.
If you are interested in the application process, you must know that it will always depend on the finance you are interested in. In fact, the company has created several pdf files, which appear in its website, which detailed information about the application procedure for each loan.
