NATSAVE ADVISES PEOPLE TO SAVE
…as part of World Savings Day
NATSAVE is committed to offering a platform for sustainable finance which goes beyond encouraging customers to save but also providing affordable credit to Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
These programmes are also provided to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), according to the NATSAVE Public Relations Manager, Judith Tembo in her write up on “save regardless of how much you earn” in commemoration of the World Savings Day yesterday.
The World Savings Day was celebrated under the theme “Sustainable Finance: savings are globally diverse, united in responsibility.”
According to Ms Tembo, the theme resonated with NATSAVE’s commitment to offering a platform for sustainable finance to customers, MSMEs and SMEs.
“Savings are diverse that’s why we deliver financial inclusion to every Zambian without discrimination. We believe in seeking viable collaborations to serve the Zambian people better.
“Today, we encourage you to adopt a savings formula, where you determine a percentage for savings from your income before spending as opposed to spending then save the “change,” she said.
For NATSAVE, Ms Tembo said, World Savings Day went beyond October 31 because savings should be talked about every day.
She stated that the bank had also been intentional in designing home grown Savings and Credit solutions for its customers.
“In the quest to continue executing our original mandate as a savings Bank and vision of “Delivering Financial Inclusion”, we continue to participate in events that help in raising the bar in financial literacy in the country.
“We believe that saving should not be reserved for adults. Children should be
taught how to manage their finances. Another aspect of note is that one does not need to be rich in order to save. People can save regardless of how much they earn,” Ms Tembo said.
