• Maintain accurate system notes and ensure compliance with credit policy and Bank of Zambia requirements.
• Contribute to daily pay-away readiness by completing assessments timeously.
Requirements
• Experience in Payroll Credit Assesment, a Diploma or Degree in Banking, Finance, Business Administration or a related field not required but would be taken into consideration.
• Minimum 1–2 years’ experience in credit assessment, loan processing or credit administration in a bank, microfinance or payroll-lending environment.
• Strong understanding of affordability, CRB and document verification.
• High attention to detail, integrity and ability to take ownership of files.
