PLC offers investors:

 

1. The stability of a government owned company

With the market perception of privately owned, deposit-taking institutes deteriorating as a result of unpleasant past experiences, investors are increasingly inclined towards stronger and more stable institutes. In particular, those with Government backing are favoured, mainly due to security and reliability concerns. Within these selected companies, PLC stands out with superior rates and service coupled with the strong backbone of People's Bank.

 

2. A history of outstanding performance and potential

Over the years, PLC's performance has sky rocketed and the company has proven both its financial and non-financial soundness. The market has acknowledged PLC's potential in all spheres of operation and this has been demonstrated by the many accolades received.

 

3. Attractive interest rates

PLC interest rates are highly competitive and established to reflect market trends and the company's funding requirements. Attractive rates coupled with customer confidence are major attractions for investors investing with us.

 

4. The ability to withdraw at short notice

PLC's high liquidity position ensures that customers are able to withdraw their investments on call/over the counter - a facility many competitors are unable to provide. We fully acknowledge the fact that investors hold the right to recall their money at any time.

 

5. Tax benefits (Withholding tax as a final tax for Promissory Notes)

As a final tax, withholding tax becomes a major relief to big time investors in the long run.

 

6. Market reach through the PB and PLC network

Customers are able to invest with PLC not only through our own branch network but also via the well spread People's Bank network, creating synergies and efficiencies within the group while providing customers with easier access to our investment schemes.

 

7. Customer friendly staff

PLC's customer friendly attitude has resulted in many customers continuing their investments with PLC for long periods of time. The smiling faces of our staff have not only attracted funds but also won many friends who continue to be with PLC at all times.

 

8. Loyalty (i.e. lease/HP customers opting for PLC over other companies)

Our lease and HP clients find it easier, safer and speedier to invest with PLC, making PLC the one stop shop for all their financial needs. This loyalty has created win-win situations for both the company and the customer.
