Tameer Bank

Published April 19, 2014

TAMEER Bank falls within the purview of small and medium enterprises where the finance facility against gold security is allowed. I will suggest that reduced markup rate and fees for processing documents apply to borrowers. Besides, a list of authorised goldsmiths should be prominently displayed at the branches along with the schedule/rate of charges recoverable as per the amount of gold loan applied for.

The issuance of a receipt recovered by the goldsmith should be made obligatory. Since several clients come to the bank on a daily basis, arrangements for adequate sitting/seating, drinking water and toilet facilities should be made available.

Meanwhile, simplified guidance for customers regarding queries raised by the bank staff should be made compulsory to avoid any cofusion.
