Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN)…

DBN (Development Bank of Nigeria)

Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) was conceived by the Federal Government of Nigeria in collaboration with the World Bank, African Development Bank, German Development Bank (KfW), French Agency for Development and European Investment Bank to address.

DBN was established to bridge the gaps created by Bank of Industry (BOI) and the commercial banks that could not satisfy the funding needs of the MSME ( Micro, Small, Medium Enterprise). DBN introduction is meant to enhance Private Investment activities.

The Ministry of Finance stated that about 20,000 beneficiaries will be given loan during it’s first year of operations

Development Bank of Nigeria exists to alleviate financing constraints faced by Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs) and small corporate in Nigeria through providing financing, partial credit guarantees and technical assistance to eligible financial intermediaries on a market-conforming and fully financially sustainable basis.

The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) was set up as a wholesale development finance institution (DFI) to provide sustainable financing through eligible Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), who would in turn, lend to end-borrowers – Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) for the development of that segment….

Who qualifies for the DBN loan?

All MSMEs (start up or existing) involved in productive enterprises are eligible for the loan. However, they must be customers of eligible financial institutions.

Loan Repayments and interest rate

DBN loan repayment tenure is flexible (up to 10 years with a moratorium period of up to 18 months) and the interest rates are on a market-conforming and fully financially sustainable basis. (should you have any issues with your PFI, kindly send feedback to the email ID at the end of this piece).

  1. Practically media training company is great when it cmes to really
    helps to achieve target-oriented communication. The problem is, accompanying
    sample letters and templates are generic documents. You will have to take
    boyh along while usin a hundred dollar processing fee in your local police department where they’ll take your fingerprints plus operate a background check
    you to make sure that the information you done
    inside application.

  2. When someone writes an post he/she keeps the image of a user in his/her
    mind that how a user can be aware of it. So that’s why this piece of writing is perfect.
    Thanks!

  3. You really make it seem really easy along with your presentation however I find
    this matter to be actually something which
    I believe I might by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex
    and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward to
    your next put up, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!
