This report highlights the loan policies of Standard Bank Limited; explain different issues regarding the disbursement of loans such as: sector where loans are provided, purposes of the loan, eligibility to get loans, documents required, interest charged on loans, & also the rate of penal interest in case of late repayment.

Adequate flow of credit can remove the financial constrains on the borrower. There has been phenomenal growth in the flow of credit after liberation due to government’s desire to increase productivity in the country. All the credit institutions were glared up through a dynamic credit policy to disburse both short term and long term credit. As a result, the flow of credit has increased significantly. As the volume of the loans has increased substantially over the years, the percentage of loan default increased gradually. This study is kind of analyzing the Loan Management of Standard Bank.
