“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.”

There Is Power In Savings

There is power in savings whether it’s from your fortnightly salary or a side hustle, says NCSL Member,
Joycelyn Mautu who opened her savings account with NCSL in 2021 when she began her formal
employment in Port Moresby.
Living in the city is expensive and so you must be disciplined in the way you handle your money, she shared.
Ms. Mautu who is employed by PNG Chamber of Resources and Energy, has been actively contributing a
part of her salary fortnightly and whenever she has some extra money, she puts it away in her savings
accounts to assist with her immediate and future needs.
“Emergency situations are inevitable and can happen at any time. Having savings parked aside gives me that
feel of security, and I am glad I have something to fall back on when I need it the most. And as an advice for
young people who are still in school, start practicing a savings culture today as it will help you with your
education needs and can meet the cost of your other expenses.
It is important that when you grow up, to know how to save and how to manage your money,” she said.
Being an NCSL member, Ms Mautu enjoys interests paid annually into her savings account. She is always
eager to check her balance at the end of each month to track her savings performance and the interest paid
into her account.
And if it is required, she can obtain a loan which is easier when she can show being able to set money aside
to save.
“So far, so good. I am very pleased with how I am managing my finances through saving with NCSL,” Ms.
Mautu concluded.
