The Bank of Industry provides facilities at tenors that range from 12 to 60 months and above.
Since the funds the Bank is mandated to provide are for the manufacturing sector, which returns a longer time frame from start to profitability, the Bank structures its loan tenors to accommodate this incubation period. Moratorium periods are also incorporated into our loan tenors to ease repayment concerns.
