Credit Officers


This is a view of the Credit Officers from R-L we have Frederick Quianoo,Joana Quarm, Elizabeth Appiah and Cecilia Nyarko.
They are responsible for finding prospective clients and giving out loans. Credit officers also evaluate the financial history and current situation of applicants.  Some loan applicants have good credit histories and will be eligible for most mainstream loans, while others will have adverse or ambiguous credit histories.  If the applicants do not have good credit histories, a credit officer needs to be able to find loans which work for the applicants, and which the applicants will be able to repay.
