What most SLTF defaulters do is to repay the loan even sooner that the period they were given. This is because it lowers the total interest charged. How will you do the payments? Well, you can mandate your employer to deduct the loan from your monthly payments, pay via cheque at the SLTF head office, or use your security number to pay through:

Your smart pay – Ghana Commercial Bank. A special SLTF in slip – National Investment Bank. Collect – Eco bank Ghana Bank

An alternative provided for you to pay the loan is by visiting their head office that is at Crescent Avenue Asylum Down (near Highgate Hotel) at room number 47, 3rd floor.

If you have travelled, you can use one of your friend or family members to do the payments on your behalf. Others prefer to send the money directly to the SLTF, but remember to check your current balance as well as the exchange rates.
