@pharuk,
PLEASE don't misinform people. Your maths doesnt support your claim of 19% monthly at all! Even though i havent being to the bank myself, no one will charge 19% interest monthly, use your head that will be 228% per annum!!!!!
Haba, even if the banks are demons and blood sucking vampires, they can never do that. Do you realise that if the charge 19% monthly in just over 6months you would have completely paid off the prinicipal and every other payment on top of that na extra!!!

The payments can be monthly no doubt, but interest calculated monthly at 19% is not possible!!!!

very simple maths

its 19% annually which will be remitted monthly for 42 months max
thats what i heard.

weigh your options
if it fits your personality, then go for it. if it doesnt, run till your legs cannot carry u

PS: why will the radio jingles say 10% tuition and be silent on the main stuffs?

why ar u guys talking like kids, first and formost u hv not verify frm the banks. which bank will give u loan and ask you to pay annually. repayment for all banks in Nigeria is monthly. I think we are matured, so if we want 2 talk lets have i rethink first. If u hv what it takes and u feel u can with stand it GO if not RUN thats Naija for you because no body is questioning them. untill our looter (sorry i mean money bag rulers) do some tin. its not effecting them because they can afford it 4 their ward.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy Nairalanders, some of you just post rubbish , the intrest rate is 19.5% per annual, it will be spread over the period of repayment, for example if you are taking a loan of 1.3M the intrest rate is 19.5% for the duration of payment, if its a year loan or 4 years loan repayment is still thesame. i have the repayment method on my system, if you want it get in touch with me i will forward it to your box

Definately can't be N19 19%per month, 19x12=228%. Haha even Armed robbers better pass this now, 19% of 5M = 950000.
If i fit pay this kind money every month I go just wait till next season before starting my studies now. by then 6month go done do and i would have made extra N700,000. So case close on wether na monthly or annual please. It is definately annual, and it seems fairly reasonable because the duration is 4years, but as som1 said do what pleases u.

We just need to confirm stuff before we start posting untrue stories.

i was given a print-out when i visited bank phb branch at adeola odeku, and it is 19%/annum. and there are diff. repayments methods.
1. interest + capital monthly over 42 mnths
2 interest over 42mths + capital bulk payment after studies
3 Monthly servicing of interest throughout the period of study and a moratorium of 6 months after the conclusion of study (during this moratorium, the security deposit in the education savings account would be used to service the monthly interest), then an additional 12 month tenor is given to service both accrued interest and the principal. In effect the tenor of the facility is extended by additional 18 months after the period of study.

Personally, it is outrageous, but in Nigeria, you can't get anything better and this is applicable everywhere all over the world.

I have been in contact with the Bank Via, Email and also visited 3 of its branches to get a good understanding of this product on offer, personally I think, except a better deal comes up from other banks, NGO ,co-operatives, Communities and good willed people who are willing to bank roll peoples studies in the UK or any other Country where we all seek education of a better quality, then the Bank PHB UK education loan is it.

Here are a few answers to Queries i sent to the Bank via Email. And there answers



1.I will like to know the interest rates on this loan? ----The interest rate is 19%

 

2. What’s the difference b/w a sponsor and a guarantor?----A sponsor can also be your guarantor

 

3. If my guarantor provides acceptable collateral, is he still required to service the debt over the tenor of the facility? -----Your sponsor or guarantor must be servicing the interest monthly or both the interest and principal. The collateral is just an addition comfort to the bank.

 

4. Provided I have met all the required payments (the 20% equity contribution and down payment 10% of the tuition fees) in the UK education loan account, how long will it take to process the loan facility? -----To a large extent depends on your collateral. For shares -3 days, legal mortgage- 3 weeks, fixed deposit 2 days etc



5. Must my sponsors or guarantor be residing in Nigeria ? Yes



Other info, I got from my visit to there branches are you have to open the account, make a deposit of 10% of the tuition fee. Then get the loan application form, apply for the Loan, provide all the required documentations, if or when your loan is processed you will have to make a 20% equity contribution of virtually the total sum you will require i.e. (tuition fees, accommodation, air tickets and sustenance)


Hope this help clear the air,If you have to, then do it, nobody said life was going to be easy, weigh the risk, with the future advantages and make a decision, and what’s more banks are not charity they are profit driven.

Equity contribution of 20% is, lets say you need a loan of 3M, you will have to make a contribution of 20% of that amount  1st,which amounts to 600,000K.

so Now the actual loan amount is 2.4M and that i want to believe is the amount you have to base your repayment on using the 19% intrest rate.

Hope this Helps.

Also i will try to forward a link of this page to the customers service email of bankPHB, so that they can throw more light on this tread.

« #43 on: July 01, 2008, 11:55 AM »

No, the 10% is based on the tuition only and that’s what u pay 1st, on opening the account. That money they say will be invested on your behalf while you are out of the country. Also if you chose the repayment option where you are given a 6 month moratorium i.e., a stay on your repayment,  Then the repayment will be serviced during this period, from this amount in your account that’s the 10%.

Ok, well understood now. I guess its not that terrible sha, some people collect a one year term loan based on similar conditions. Another question is, will they just handover all the money to me at once and don't bother what I actually do with the money?

Re: Bank Phb / Skye Bank Education Loan
« #45 on: July 01, 2008, 01:26 PM »

@Ess
yes now
before the money will be handed to u, u would have satisfied their terms. meaning, you have a sponsor with a bankable colateral in case of default.

so, do whatever you like with the money and please pay back as stipulated.
LOL!!!

@wills
how will the loan be disbursed?
into the account opened or what?

guys, if your looking for help, then its sad news that I will break to u. Nobody is going to issue help to you. You need to sit down, think, and make up what u need to succeed. Don't think crime, because it will not pay either. Bend down, think and bring out the you in you.

align yourself with the successful, think like them, bend down study hard to dicover the secrets behind their success.

there is no way a discovery is found and u remain the same way u were before.

You guys  has made a wonderfull contribution to this topic,i will not lay blame on anybody for the controvercy on th interest rate,but will state categorically here that is the fault of CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF of all this banks who can't differentiate between their left from right.

I have gone there personally on my own at one of Bank PHB branch and they told me that the interest rate is 17% monthly!

This is a fraud ,im trying to remember how many years jail term to this crime be perputuated by our so called banks

I believe 17% - 25% is what you pay for credit card bills - Monthly. That can even be reduced if you have good credit in USA.
 
So if a bank is charging you the same rate on a educational loan as you would on a credit card, there is no incentive to take the loan. The best bet is to borrow from a corporative (lol), if they still exist and you belong to one.

The government needs to regulate the interest on educational loan if they are looking out for the people, because the BANKS ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES. ITS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOV'T TO LOOK OUT FOR THE PEOPLE

On a side note:
Anybody knows what would happen in Nigeria if you take out the loan and then you can't afford to pay back? In the US, it f**ks up your credit and you cannot do anything until you file for bankrupty and stuff. Whats the deal in Naija?

Hi guys,

Since we can all now agree(according to members research),that the interest is about 19% annually,what should be stated in the student's application form as one's sponsor.

I mean is it going to be the sponsor(dad,uncle,etc) that helped you get the loan or the bank itself,having it at the back of our minds that you need to show your sponsor bank statement & ability to see your tru your studies etc.

What if your sponsor has about 2m & collects the remaining sch fees as loan?And has paid 50% of your fees & has paid 4000pounds(1m) remaining 1m in his acct.  ??

Is that acct. good enough for the ECO boys to grant your visa?In short what documents do u submit for visa concerning sponsorship when granted loan for fees?

Please anyone??
