NASFUND Contributors Savings & Loan (NCSL) Society’s membership base is on track with its marketing plans to drive membership through all its touch points, to reach its targeted membership number of 150,000 before the end of the year.
NCSL’s General Manager Vari Lahui confirmed this during NCSL’s monthly radio appearance on FM100’s Talk Back Show recently.
NCSL is registering around 2,000 members each month and Lahui says the membership growth is largely due to its personalised approach to serving members and the quick turnaround time on queries and applications driven through the electronic channels.
This has also enabled easy access to services anytime, anywhere at the members’ convenience.
Its current membership stands at over 119,000 Papua New Guineans and expatriates, making NCSL one of the largest and fastest growing Savings & Loans Society in PNG and the South Pacific.
Lahui says NCSL will also be embarking on additional marketing effort to reach out to those outside the savings and loan industry.
NCSL will recommence its roadshows as part of this marketing drive to attract membership in line with the Bank of Papua New Guinea’s campaign for financial inclusion.
It will target those interested to save to meet short to medium term financial needs but have no time to visit the branches due reasons such as work commitments.
The roadshows will be conducted for 10 consecutive weeks on Fridays commencing from September 13th-15th November, 2019, at various Stop N Shop outlets in the National Capital District.
Meantime, members who have been issued Poro cards will now be able to access approved loan funds using the cards.
