Dar es Salaam. CRDB Bank has reduced interest rates on its personal loans as it seeks to attract an increasing number of applicants.

The bank announced late last week that its personal loans will now be available at an interest rate of 17 per cent, down from 21 per cent for both public servants and private sector employees.

The CRDB Bank deputy managing director, Ms Esther Kitoka confirmed to The Citizen on Sunday and explained that the goal was to ensure that the bank’s loans are made available to all segments that require them.
