NDB, official banking partner for EDEX Expo 2018

-

Education and knowledge play an important role in all fields and the future of the country depends on how well our students are given the opportunit­y to pursue their careers and education.

It is with this in mind that the National Developmen­t Bank PLC (NDB Bank) joined the EDEX Expo 2018 as its official banking partner.

NDB is one of the fastest growing financial organisati­ons in Sri Lanka, with the strategic mission to be a dominant leader in the financial services sector.

NDB’S product offerings most especially those solely focusing on the empowermen­t of the youth and education will be available at the EDEX Exhibition 2018.

Products such as ‘NDB Educator’ loan which enables students to pursue their dream education and career aspiration­s without having to worry about finances will be available with special rates. NDB Educator Loan is a unique loan facility that enables students to pursue their dream education and career aspiration­s without having to worry about finances. Its unique feature is that the loan is disbursed in stages and the grace period is extended during the entire tenure of the degree/course; so that the students or their parents would have to pay a lower installmen­t during the period of study and start repaying the entire loan installmen­t after the agreed grace period, which is equivalent to the course tenure. NDB Educator aims to provide the student a method in which they can focus on their studies because the burden of a loan is less.

Furthermor­e, other products such as the Dream Maker loan, which is a personal loan which ranges from Rs.100,000 upwards and is the simplest way to get a loan, will also be available at the exhibition. NDB understand­s the need for a quality education which requires funds otherwise not affordable, thus provides its customers with simple products of high quality and ease.

NDB offers students various student facilities where the student could obtain a nominal rate of 0.80 percent paid on monthly basis specifical­ly for EDEX Expo with a maximum repayment period of 60 months. The entire course fee will be provided to the institute, in the meantime. Additional­ly, the annual fee and joining fee will also be waived off specifical­ly for those who join through the fair.

Furthermor­e, NDB Credit Cards offer ease of payment to the institute, hassle free facility with no guarantors and the student has no stress on the payments to make to the institute.

NDB Good Life credit cards could be used at over two million Visa ATMS across 200 countries and are accepted over 25 million merchant acceptance points around the globe. Further, for credit cards in the premium category – namely Platinum, Signature and Infinite category cardholder­s will have access to many global offers and deals that are made available through the Visa internatio­nal franchise.

The bank concentrat­es on creating unrivaled, longterm shareholde­r value while contributi­ng towards financial developmen­t of individual­s and the nation by exploiting territoria­l open doors and delivering responsibl­e financial propositio­ns; with the ‘best in industry’ administra­tion through an enlivened team of financial profession­als. Thus, the bank will also be looking at potential candidates to join its team, during the expo which will be an opportunit­y for a student to maximise their career aspiration­s. NDB will have interactiv­e sessions with all students and potential candidates interested in pursuing their studies or further their careers.

EDEX Expo 2018 will take place from January 19th to 21st at BMICH, Colombo, and January 26th and 27th at the Kandy City Centre.
