Real Stories, Real Impact: Lending Made Easy at NCSL

For over 20 years, NCSL Savings & Loan has humbly as Papua New Guinea’s leading member-owned financial institution. With over 150, 000 contributors nationwide, we’ve built a legacy of trust, innovation,
and service delivering savings and loan solutions that are not only secure and accessible but importantly tailored to the everyday needs of our people. Our mission to improve lives through digitally driven financial services continues to shape the future of savings and loan in PNG, and the experiences our members share continue to inspire and guide us.

One such story is that of Tau Bega who joined NCSL on July 7, 2025. For Tau, this wasn’t just another financial institution, it was a transformative experience rooted in convenience, efficiency, and genuine member care. As a professional in the lending sector, Bega is well-versed in financial services. Yet, what he discovered at
NCSL left a lasting impression. “I’m truly impressed by the speed of applying for a personal loan 1:1, just a few keystrokes and it’s done,” he shared. “It’s a game-changer.” His journey began with a Seivins Chat Presentation conducted by NCSL’s Ms. Vicky Moriani, Customer
Service Consultant in Alotau. Her patient and knowledgeable guidance through the online registration and

loan process exemplifies the heart of NCSL’s member-first approach. “Her support made the entire experience seamless,” Bega said with appreciation. What sets NCSL apart, according to Bega, is not just the technology but the thoughtfulness behind it.

The MyNCSL App, available on the Playstore and online, gives members direct access to their accounts anytime, anywhere. “It personalizes your services,” he said, “giving clients control and convenience on the
go.”

But it’s the Personal Loan product that truly stands out. “Highly recommended,” Bega emphasized. “It’s extremely flexible and user-friendly, cutting out the traditional bulky loan application forms. And the turnaround time? Next to none.”

Beyond loans, Bega praised NCSL’s wide range of savings products designed to meet the practical needs of Papua New Guinea’s working class. With competitive interest rates and a member-first approach, NCSL continues to redefine what convenient digital services can look like. “I’ll definitely recommend NCSL to others seeking convenience including my family members,” Bega said. “It’s not just a service; it’s a smarter way to manage your money.”
