Need to fund a new world order?

We offer a wide assortment of loan types to cater to every business contingency.

Loans

A loan is a debt provided by an entity (organization or individual) to another entity at an interest rate, and evidenced by a promissory note which specifies, among other things, the principal amount of money borrowed, the interest rate the lender is charging, and date of repayment.

From time to time in life and business, we find ourselves needing a little or a lot more money than we have to meet certain pressing financial goals. At Zenith Bank our loan offerings provide a fallback position to secure the funds you need. So, whether it is a personal loan to buy a house or go on a vacation, or a structured credit facility to achieve mission-critical business goals, we can offer tailor-made loan solutions to all your cash-flow challenges.

TERM LOAN

Term Loan is a credit (short term, medium or long term) availed for the acquisition of a property, personal needs or consumables.

LEASE

Lease is specifically finance or sale and lease back financing to support the acquisition of asset or equipment.

Trade Loans

Trade loans are flexible, short-term borrowing facilities, linked to specific import or export transactions.

They are available for firms regardless of the method they use to trade, whether open account, collections or documentary credit basis. Trade loans help fund trade transactions throughout a firm’s trading cycle, improving its cash flow.

Trade loans work as fully revolving credit facilities, which help fund a business between the time it has to pay for the purchased goods, and the time when the firm receives the funds from the sale of those goods. Once the facility is agreed and put in place, the borrower presents his drawdown documentation. Any drawdown documentation is agreed in advance and stipulated in the facility agreement.

Investments

Investment

In an economic sense, an investment is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth. In finance, an investment is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will be sold at a higher price for a profit.

How is the future looking?

Keeping a keen eye on the future and taking action to protect it is a great way to achieve your medium to longer-term financial goals.
