NCSL at 22: Honouring Journeys, Building Futures

Joining NCSL Savings and Loan isn’t just about opening a savings account—it’s about becoming
part of something bigger. As a member, you become a shareholder, giving you the right to
access some of the best financial services available in Papua New Guinea.
Enjoy easy and convenient access to savings and loan products with competitive rates through
any of our 20 branches nationwide, online via our website, or directly from your mobile
phone—anytime, anywhere.
We are continuously working to enhance our services and provide informative presentations to
help you choose the products that best suit the needs of you and your family.
Over the 22 years, we have assisted countless members meeting everyday needs to achieving
goals.

Here we featured some of the testimonials from our members.

Mary – Catholic Bishop Conference PNG & Solomon Islands

“I have been a member with NCSL for 13 years and my savings with NCSL especially General and
Education savings has enabled me to pay for my children’s school fees over the years”

Caroline – Airways Hotel

“Through the support of the payroll team of my employer, I have been contributing to my
savings account as a NCSL member for 8 years. I have been using my interest earned savings to
fund my holidays trips back to my home village during the festive period.”

Wayne – ExxonMobil

“Through NCSL’s 1:5 loan product—which allows members to borrow up to five times the value
of their savings—I was able to purchase a Toyota Harrier SUV in July 2022 and pay nearly
K12,000 in school fees for my son. These achievements have significantly supported both my
personal and family needs.”

Esther – WaterPNG

“My savings with NCSL has been my lifeline assisting me with my medical bills. I have been a
member with NCSL for 6 years now.”

Edith – Aviat Club

“I am a member with NCSL since 2007. My savings have grown over the years and I have used to
attend to customary obligations, family needs and build myself a house.”

 

Thanks to our members

It is because of our members that we have grown, evolved and innovated achieving

Over time, NCSL has become more than a financial institution. It became a partner in progress, a
source of stability, and a symbol of empowerment through financial literacy training, focussing
on creating a savings culture and responsible lending. Members feel noticed, supported, and
valued. Not just for what they save, but for who they are and what they aspire to achieve within
their respective families, clan, tribe and modern-day community

In celebrating 22 years, NCSL isn’t just marking time, it’s honouring any of the 160 000 of life
journeys we have helped shape. And for every member, our journey together continues.

“NCSL exists because of our members — they are the foundation of everything we do. Our
purpose is to serve them with integrity, innovation, and care, ensuring their financial wellbeing
remains at the heart of every decision we make.” Said CEO Frans Kootte.

From humble beginnings NCSL’s history is a living testament of our journey with our loyal
contributors.
